Japan

Chiyune Sugihara was born in Japan in 1900. In 1919, while he was a student at Waseda University, he passed the examination to enter the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In 1940, while he was Acting Japanese Consul in the Republic of Lithuania, even as the
danger of war threatened his own life, he continued to issue visas with desperate resolve and faith over a month-long period, to approximately 6000 Jewish refugees, thus saving their lives.
This is a story of brilliant humanitarianism in
the face of war, that should be remembered in the annals of history and passed on to future generations. We can be proud of him as a Waseda alumnus.
Waseda University erected this memorial monument here in recognition of his
achievements, and also planted some of the cherry trees to represent our hope that academic exchange and friendly relations between the Republic of Lithuania and Japan will deepen and blossom.
