  • 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.

  • Architectural Ceramics in Philadelphia
    ARCHITECTURAL CERAMICS IN PHILADELPHIA Prepared & Written by Vance A. Koehler June 2015 / Revised April 2017 PHILADELPHIA CITY HALL Broad and Market Streets City Hall was designed by Philadelphia architect John McArthur, Jr., with Thomas U. Walter, and built 1871-1901. It is recognized as one of the best and most impressive examples of Second Empire style architecture in the country. In 1973, John Maass wrote, “The building has . been regarded as a marvel of the age, as an obsolete relic, as a grotesque monstrosity, as a period piece of quaint charm, and now as a masterpiece of American architecture.” Tiles can be found in the pavements of the covered walkways leading into the large open courtyard on the exterior ground floor. Walk through the arched portals leading in from North Broad Street, South Broad Street or East Market Street and you will see running borders of encaustic tiles in geometric patterns of cream, blue, red, brown and buff. The tiles were made in Germany circa 1880-1900 by Villeroy and Boch, Mettlach, and by Mosaic Fabrik in Sinzig-am-Rhein. This type of tile was commonly used throughout public buildings in the area, although most are now gone. The tiles are in fair to excellent condition, but have suffered from years of neglect. Tiles are located throughout the interior, too. Some fine, colorful relief tiles made in Trenton, New Jersey, especially by Trent Tile Company and the Providential Tile Works, can be found throughout the endless hallways and in many offices and public rooms. The main corridors on the fifth and sixth floors are especially impressive.
