When Hachiko Met Hidesaburo

The reunion statue of Dr. Hidesaburo Ueno and Hachiko was constructed last year inside the University of Tokyo to celebrate the 90th and 80th death anniversary of Dr. Ueno and Hachiko respectively. And during our meeting last Friday, I had the chance of seeing the statue. In contrast to the lone, sad presence of Hachiko in Shibuya, the reunion statue has immortalized the happy moment everytime Hachiko meets his master Hidesaburo.
