Yamagata folk museum's clock ticking for about a century

Clocksmith Jiro Masuya poses at the Yamagata folk museum's clock tower in Yamagata, northern Japan, on June 7, 2015. Japan's second-oldest clock tower, completed in June 1916, has been ticking for almost a century thanks to the arduous efforts of the 83-year-old Masuya and his grandfather Hikokichi Abe, the developer of the clock device.

      Japanese donates calligraphy by Sun Yat-sen's comrades to Taiwan museum

      Yoshihiro Fujita (2nd from L), a member of the education board of Nichinan, Miyazaki Prefecture, southwestern Japan, presents a framed calligraphy piece by Chinese revolutionary activist Sun Yat-sen's close ally Chen Qimei to representatives of the National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in Taipei on March 12, 2015, during a symposium marking the 90th anniversary of Sun's death. The calligraphy, given by Chen to Fujita's grandfather Reizo around 1915 as a token of thanks for his support for the Sun-led revolution in China, is hailed by the museum as an invaluable piece of historical material that shows the activists' connections with supporters in Japan. Fujita also donated a separate piece of calligraphy by another of Sun's allies, Liu Datong. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
