Ringing the Peace Bell with Yoko Tanaka

This was an amazing experience. Several days before New Years Eve 2023 we saw a presser about the Japan America Society of Iowa and a gathering at the Yamanashi Peace Bell which is located near the Iowa Supreme Court Building, next to the Shattered Glass Sculpture. This bell was a gift of gratitude from the Yamanashi Prefecture to honor all of Iowa for assisting that state to get back on its feet following a devastating 1959 typhoon that impacted its hog industry.  My guest is Yoko Tanaka the Executive Director of the Japan America Society of Iowa who explains what we were doing early in the morning of the last day of 2023...and in freezing weather.

Thanks for listening!
