Ukulele Choir Visits Japan 2006

Our Visit to the Konan Elementary School

The students joined Konan High School and Konan Elementary School in a performance at the elementary school. Founded by Hirao Hachisaburo, a social benefactor who also established Konan Hospital, Hirao's superb leadership was evident in political circles as well as in the modernization of Japan's educational system. He brought his greatest passion and dedication to the work he did in the educational world. He founded Konan Kindergarten and Konan Elementary School, followed by Konan Middle School and Konan High School based on the ideals of character building, physical fitness and respect for the individual.
