This section of the Broome Cemetery has particular significance to the Japanese community who have been association with Broome and pearling since the 1880’s. The Japanese pearling industry recently announced that it would fund and inventory and the restoration of early graves and shrines
Graves of Japanese are in a section of the main Broome cemetery on the western side of town, the numbers of graves bearing witness to the hundreds of lives lost in the pearling industry. The rough hewn headstones inscribed in Japanese are piled with food each year for the Bon Matsuri – the feast of lanterns for the dead – and lanterns are lit amongst them.
