Nitobe Inazo
A thinker and international person with a doctorate in agriculture and law from Morioka City. He served as Deputy Secretary-General of the League of Nations and interacted with politicians, thinkers, and scholars from around the world, and strove to help other countries understand Japan based on his philosophy of ``becoming a bridge across the Pacific.'' His representative work is ``BUSIDO-THE SOUL OF JAPAN'', an English essay on Japanese thought, which has been translated into various languages as an introduction to Japanese culture. There is a Nitobe Inazo Memorial Room in the Morioka City Ancestor Memorial Hall, where items related to him are displayed.
