On Saturday, March 24, Consul General and Mrs. Uyama attended a reception celebrating the establishment of the Tomoye Takahashi Endowed Chair in Japanese Studies at University of California, Berkeley, where Consul General Uyama gave remarks. The fund will support and promote research at the Center for Japanese Studies. Some 30 people attended the reception including family members of the late Mrs. Tomoye Takahashi, professors at the Center for Japanese Studies, and representatives from the Japanese American community.
The late Mrs. Tomoye Takahashi was born in San Francisco in 1915 as a second generation Japanese American. Using the profits from a trading company she and her husband opened after getting married, she founded the ‘Henri and Tomoye Takahashi Charitable Foundation’, which aims to promote an understanding of Japan and support the historical and cultural traditions of Japanese Americans, and has contributed to promoting Japanese culture and exports between Japan and the United States.
