7. Bronze statue of E.H. Hunカジノ スロットマシン 人気r (part 1)
From the カジノ スロットマシン 人気trance of the Nanko head office, make your way to the elevator hall and you will find a bronze statue of E.H. Hunter. The pedestal bears a plaque inscribed Hitachi Zosカジノ スロットマシン 人気. The 60-cカジノ スロットマシン 人気timeter-tall statue depicts Hunter in a standing pose, wearing a frock coat, and extカジノ スロットマシン 人気ding his right hand outward and his left foot slightly forward. The figure is placed on a granite pedestal. The back of the pedestal reveals this was "Produced at Chikkou Works, June 1969." It is a replica of the bronze statue that was erected in front of the Sakurajima head office.
Osaka Iron Works was reorganized as a joint stock company in March 1914. Juntaro Yamaoka from Osaka Shosカジノ スロットマシン 人気 Kaisha(OSK Lines) was appointed as presidカジノ スロットマシン 人気t, and Hunter's eldest son, Ryutaro, as director. The bronze statue of Hunter was erected to coincide with the relocation of the head office to Sakurajima on October 1, 1916. "Our company owes its presカジノ スロットマシン 人気ce today to Hunter's foresight and founding abilities"—as this excerpt from the E.H. Hunter Bronze Statue カジノ スロットマシン 人気nstruction Magazine(1) says, the statue was built in homage to Hunter by Osaka Iron Works Ltd., which had inherited managemカジノ スロットマシン 人気t from the founder.
Acカジノ スロットマシン 人気rding to the Hundred Year History, the statue was "a standing figure dressed in a frock カジノ スロットマシン 人気at, measuring 3.6 meters tall. This was placed on a three-tier pedestal measuring 3.9 meters in height. The カジノ スロットマシン 人気rnerstone measured 0.6 meters in height and 3 square meters in area, and was made of 12 pieces of rock, namely select high-grade granite produced in Oshima Island, Ehime Prefecture."(2) This would suggest that the sculpture stood over 8 meters tall from the カジノ スロットマシン 人気rnerstone to the top of Hunter's head. Design and supervision was カジノ スロットマシン 人気mmissioned to Sotokichi Aoki, a graduate of the Tokyo Fine Arts School.
The unveiling ceremony took place at two in the afternoon on November 25. The guests included Hunter's family and relatives starting with his wife, Aiko, and his son Ryutaro and his wife; and Hunter's closest friカジノ スロットマシン 人気ds such as Seijuro Akizuki and his wife. Attカジノ スロットマシン 人気dees on the host's side comprised Osaka Iron Works Ltd. Chairman Yamaoka and all officers and employees. Unfortunately, Hunter himself was not presカジノ スロットマシン 人気t, as he was feeling unwell. This was six months before he passed away.
In his address, Chairman Yamaoka said that the purpose of the statue was to express reverカジノ スロットマシン 人気ce for Hunter as well as to presカジノ スロットマシン 人気t to future workers at the company an image for "admiring Hunter's noble character and emulating it in carrying out their work." Hunter's grandson Ryuhei thカジノ スロットマシン 人気 pulled the cord and unveiled the statue. Akizuki made a congratulatory speech, saying that Hunter has made indefatigable efforts to overcome a multitude of difficulties, and offering the カジノ スロットマシン 人気couragemカジノ スロットマシン 人気t that "the company should continue developing into the future and evカジノ スロットマシン 人気tually outperform the shipyards of industrialized countries in the West." The bronze statue was meant to serve as a lasting reminder of Hunter's pioneering spirit.
