Memory of The Case
In Rokusen-sawa where the attack occurred, there is now a shrine called the Sankebetsu Brown Bear Incident Reconstruction Location (三毛別羆事件復元現地, Sankebetsu Higuma Jiken Fukugen Genchi?). The shrine, which is overgrown by trees, includes a restored house that reproduces life in those days, a signboard on which the case is explained, and a statue of the brown bear. The place is near Uchidome Bridge (射止橋, Uchidome bashi?) which spans the Sankebetsu river.
The shrine is located about 16 kilometers to the south on Hokkaidō Route 1049 (北海道道1049号, Hokkaidō 1049 gō?) from Kotanbetsu Intersection (古丹別, Kotanbetsu Kōsaten?) on Route 239 (国道239号, Kokudō 239 gō?).
Hokkaidō road 1049 was called a bear road, and there are many signboards showing a cute bear. These can be found at gates and at the wayside of the road. It is suggested that the posture expresses the symbiosis of wild animals and human beings.
Since the numerous tourists who visit there know the history of the area, they may possibly interpret it as an ironic or humorous statement.

“The definition of good prose is proper words in their proper places; of good verse, the most proper words in their proper places. The propriety is in either case relative. The words in prose ought to express the intended meaning, and no more; if they attract attention to themselves, it is, in general, a fault.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
