On March 18, an unveiling ceremony for a bust commemorating the legacy of the late Sen. Daniel K. Inouye (1924-2012) was held by the city government of Yame, Fukuoka Prefecture.
Inouye, a decorated World War II veteran and the second-longest-serving U.S. senator in history, was born in Honolulu in 1924, after his father and his grandparents emigrated from the village of Yokoyama in Yame County, currently Joyo District in Yame City.
The monument was erected in a park in Joyo with 30 flowering dogwoods, a gift from the U.S. to Japan in 2015, as a symbol of the lasting U.S.-Japan bilateral friendship as well as the pride of his hometown honoring the political and cultural achievements that he had made in both countries.
Holding keen awareness of his heritage and paying respect to his roots, Inouye, together with Irene Hirano Inouye and other Japanese American leaders, founded the U.S.-Japan Council in 2008. On behalf of the council and Inouye’s wife, who looked forward to the completion of the monument but passed away in 2020, a congratulatory message by USJC President and CEO Suzanne Basalla was delivered during the ceremony.
