Tojin-baka Tomb
In 1852, abused Chinese coolies on the American ship, Robert Baun, killed their Captain. The ship was wrecked off Ishigaki Island and 380 people landed in Ishigaki. However, both the English and American military killed and/or arrested over 100 of these people. Some committed suicide while others got sick. In 1971, to comfort the soul of these unfortunate dead, some natives of the island built the Tojin-baka Tomb to commemorate them.
