One of my purposes for going to Hakata today was to see this statue. I didn't know about the existence of this statue until recently, but this bronze statue of the retired emperor in a robe, crown, and sash, located almost in the center of Higashi Park, is full of dignity, and the four letters on the pedestal that say "surrender to the enemy country" are vivid. Will the Retired Emperor, who worked tirelessly to fight the Mongol invasion, protect Japan in Reiwa once again? In the sunlight, which is so strong that it doesn't seem like it's December, the world situation surrounding Japan is changing rapidly: history, the Middle East, Ukraine, Russia, North Korea... While various thoughts were passing by, I was thinking about this as well. In a sense, the fact that this statue exists in Japan today is itself a rare event. This is Hakata, the place where the Mongols invaded.

In response to the Koan reforms of the Kamakura shogunate, they promoted ``virtuous government'' and introduced a rating system. It seems that the cloistered government was ambitious, including implementing major reforms.

When I was little, I went to this park many times and looked at this bronze statue. A symbolic bronze statue that stands in the center of East Park, along with the Nichiren Shonin Statue at the edge of the park. It stands on top of a small hill and is surrounded by layers of neatly maintained azaleas and other trees. In early spring, the azalea flowers are very beautiful. This area used to be called ``Chiyo no Matsubara'' near the seaside, and it was developed as a park at the beginning of the Meiji era, and this bronze statue was apparently installed in 1902, facing the sea. In 1981, buildings such as the prefectural office and prefectural police headquarters were relocated, and the scenery of the park changed, but nothing has changed about this bronze statue.
