<Monument of Japan's Opening to The World>

This monument was erected in 1954 to commemorate the entennial of the opening of relations beween Japan and the United states.
The Relief images of Commodore Perry and Consul-General Harris who laid the foundation for trade and international relations between the two nations are engraved with their own words.

"I have come here as a peace maler" (Perry)
"My mission was a friendly one in every respect" ( Harris)

Perry's words were selected from his journals by Major-General Douglas C. MacArthur and Harris's words were chosen by the
American Minister to Japan William J. Shiebold.

The calligraphy was bone by former Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida (1946 - 1954) who played an important role in re-establishing
the U.S-Japan relationship after World War 2. The design of the monument and the relief images were the work of Tatsuo Tsutusumi
in Nishiizu town.
