[In the words of Umeko Tsuda]
I urge all of you to rid yourselves of the narrow-mindedness and bigotry of the old, and while seeking the new, strive to preserve all that are excellent traditions passed down by Japanese women in the past."
In the first half of the year 2024, the bill will be renewed for the first time in 20 years. Umeko Tsuda, whose portrait will appear on the 5,000-yen bill, founded the "Women's English School" and has been called a "pioneer in women's education." She is a symbol of a strong woman and is held in high esteem.
I was attracted by the phrase "the excellent traditions passed down by Japanese women in the past." I was moved by the words of Ms. Tsuda, a strong woman who has continued to be a strong woman while respecting tradition.
