I believe this monument was donated in 1914 by Shiga Shigetaka (a professor from Waseda University, Japan). Shiga found parallels between the battle of the Alamo and that of of Nagashino Castle in 1575, that he felt compelled to construct this monument.
"In spirit there is not a distinction between East and West.
You need not wonder, then, if I drink a toast to your memory!
I have brought a well-polished stone from Japan,
And commemorate your heroic deeds with this humble inscription."
Excellent photograph!

Great angle, dof and texture in this one.
The story of Shiga Shigetaka and the parrallels to the Alamo sounds fascinating tell me more.

Wonderfull short focus. It seems like complimenting to the monument, but that I don't know.

I like the high-key and abstract qualities of this image, Paul.
I think I may have focused on the closest part of the letter, rather than the middle, but this way works fine also.
