A Message from the Consul General
| |
|  Ken Okaniwa
Consul General of Japan in Miami
|
| In January we had the great honor of presenting not one, but two awards to Floridians. The first was the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Rosette conferred to Mr Harris Rosen for his work as the Honorary Consul in Orlando and his support to the Japanese people in the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake among others. The second was the Consul General's Commendation presented to the Association for Florida Teachers of Japanese (AFTJ) for their work in spreading the Japanese language throughout Florida. Congratulations! During the last month, there were several Japanese New Year events that I hope you had a chance to enjoy. To further promote people-to-people exchanges between Japan and Florida, I attended the Florida-Japan Summit in Orlando. I was also very happy to say a few words on the occasion of the Florida premiere of the Japanese film Persona Non Grata, a story about a Japanese Consul who helped Jewish people flee Europe during World War II. There will be a few more showings in other locations in the State this year.
