Hokkaido University

 

William Smith Clark was a professor of chemistry, botany and zoology, a colonel during the American Civil War, and a leader in agricultural education. In 1876, the Japanese government hired Clark as a foreign advisor to establish the Sapporo Agricultural College (SAC), now Hokkaido University. During his eight months in Sapporo, Clark successfully organized SAC, had a significant impact on the scientific and economic development of the island of Hokkaido, and made a lasting imprint on Japanese culture. Clark's visage overlooks Sapporo from several statues and his parting words to his Japanese students, "Boys, be ambitious!" have become a nationally known motto in Japan.

Japanese Matsuri (Festival) in Tokyo

Matsuri is the Japanese word for festival. In Japan, festivals are usually sponsored by a local shrine or temple, though they can be secular as well. This one was held in Tokyo during June 8th-9th.
 
You will see the Mikoshi (portable Shinto shrine) making its way down the streets of Tokyo.  Shinto followers believe that it serves as the vehicle to transport a deity while moving between a main shrine and a temporary shrine during a festival.
