The Ohara Peace Bell is from Duluths sister city Ohara-Isumi City, Japan.
"Located 50 miles south of Tokyo, this 22,000 person agricultural town has been a Sister City since 1990. That tie began in 1954 when an ancient Buddhist temple bell, which found its way to Duluth after World War II, was returned to Ohara. In 1993, Ohara presented Duluth with a replica of the bell, which now resides in the Japanese Peace Bell Garden near Enger Tower. Both cities have scenic parks commemorating their Sister City commitment. Since 1992, Duluth and Ohara-Isumi City have enjoyed an annual student exchange which has captured the hearts of many young people and their families in both cities." source (
