Past Sculpture projects include the “Urban Peace Circle Memorial” at Sam Smith Park in 1994, a collaboration with the “Stop the Violence Committee” where Tsutakawa contributed a 9’ bronze sculpture to the City of Seattle, in memory of youth who have died by handgun violence. In 1999, Tsutakawa created the iconic “Mitt” sculpture for the Seattle Mariners Baseball Stadium and in 2000 the “Fountain of Seseragi” at the Seattle Center. Recent commissions include the “Salish Sea Circle” in Portuguese Townsend Washington, bronze Entrance Gates for Seattle Park’s Kubota Garden and the Washington Park Japanese Garden, the “Annie Curtis” sculpture at the Portuguese of Anacortes, “Uzumaki Curve” in Street Louis, Missouri and the “Thunderbolt” at Union Plaza in downtown Seattle Washington.
