Japan’s Prince Hitachi (73), younger brother of Emperor Akihito, is visiting Peru, to mark the 110th anniversary of the start of Japanese emigration to the South American nation.

Prince Hitachi, along with his wife Princess Hanako, put a flower arrangement on the Japanese Immigration Centennial Monument, located at the Campo de Marte in Lima.

The monument, known as the Bridge of Friendship, contains the names in Spanish and Japanese of the first 790 Japanese emigrants who arrived in Peru on April 3, 1899, aboard the Sakura Maru.

Princes and Princess Hitachi pay an official visit to Peru on the occasion of the 110th anniversary of the Japanese immigration to Peru as well as the 20th anniversary of the Peruvian immigration to Japan.

Peru’s Japanese community is one of the largest in Latin America, numbering some 100,000 people.
