It is a statue of a girl handing a bouquet to William Melell Vories, who became the first honorary citizen of Omihachiman City. Voriz was born in the United States and was an architect, social entrepreneur, and believer missionary who worked on many Western architecture in Japan, and was active in Hachiman, Shiga Prefecture, the birthplace of OMI merchants. It is called the blue eye Omi merchant.

When I participated in the special release of "Jingoro Nishikawa's residence" held on October 19 ～ 23, ｶﾞｲﾄﾞ introduced the statue of ｳﾞｫｰﾘｽﾞ. The surprise was that the girl's "raw flower" was always maintained in a beautiful state. There was an explanation. The ﾌﾞﾛﾝｽﾞ statue of the celebrity is located all over the country, but the ﾌﾞﾛﾝｽﾞ statue that can be accompanied by "raw flowers" is very rare. Also, "ｳｲﾘｱﾑ ﾒﾚﾙ ｳﾞｫｰﾘｽﾞ" is an honorary citizen of Omihachiman (No. ...)

It is on the other side of the road across the road from the Omi Brothers building. There is a statue of Vories in a small park-like site, and a girl is hanging flowers nearby. The weather wasn't very good, but I read the commentary version next to it and understood the relationship between Vories and Omihachiman.

A statue of a gentleman and a girl who presents flowers. It's a small square that deserves the name of Pocket Park, but it was an impressive space in the city of Omihachiman. I didn't know William Melell Voris until I visited Omihachiman in the first place. There are many buildings left by him in the city, and I inevitably had to notice the deep relationship with Omihachiman. It was a pity that the museum was closed on a regular holiday, but the traditional OMI Sho ... in the Meiji period when Western culture entered Japan.
