From the Desk of the Consul-General From the Desk of the Consul-General Consul-General Dr. Kazayuki Katayama September 2013-August 2015 The Consulate-General of Japan in Detroit Detroit, MI August 2015 From the Desk of Consul General of Japan in Detroit (Preface) I have served for nearly two years as the Consul General of Japan, in my jurisdiction of both Michigan and Ohio, from September, 2013 to August, 2015. I focused on the promotion of economics, politics, culture, public relations education and consular affairs, as well as the expansion of person-to-person exchanges in various areas between Japan and the 2 states. The consulate opened in 1993 and I am the 10th Consul General. During my term, I often visited local governments, companies, universities and colleges, Japanese weekend schools, branches of the Japan-America Society and the Japanese associations in various parts of the 2 states in order to foster the understanding of Japan’s policies, including its foreign policy, among the Americans here. I traveled to Ohio 66 times and Michigan (beyond Metro Detroit) 45 times. I visited universities/colleges 43 times, companies 24 times and Japanese weekend schools 14 times. I recited approximately 110 speeches and lecture and invited guests to my residence, to serve them Japanese food and Sake, about 200 times. My goals in participating in these activities were twofold. First, I aimed to convince Americans that Japan is a trustworthy and strong partner to the U.S. Second, I earnestly set out to provide quality services to local Japanese residence and portray the Consulate General as both conscientious and dependable. I don’t know how successful I was, but I would be happy if I had added something to my predecessors. I compiled more than 300 stories from the desk of the Consul General and they are available to read, on Facebook, in both Japanese and English. I would be happy if you would understand my activities through the reading of these reports. My US life has consisted of a ‘86-87 year study in Palo Alto and Boston; my embassy work from 1999-2002 in Washington DC; and my time in Detroit. Altogether, this amounts to living here 3 times and for a total of six years. I especially appreciated this stay because I lived in the Midwest— the “heartland” of the United States. I had a valuable opportunity to view, up-close, the resurgence of Detroit and I experienced a magnificent amount of diversity and ingenuity which are the main sources of U.S. strength. I understood profoundly that more than 900 facilities of Japanese companies in my jurisdiction (which have created over 110,000 local jobs) and the roughly 26,000 local Japanese residents have a deep-rooted presence, based on contributions and activities, that shows a great display of Japanese power in the region. I want to express my gratitude to American and Japanese people here for their great contributions. Comprehensively, my final wish is for further development of the relationship between Japan, Michigan and Ohio.
