	Jurichiro Hannyo, Ninomiya Kinjiro, Little Tokyo, Los Angeles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Small statues, based on an iconographic portrayal of Ninomiya at about age 14 learning to read while carrying a load of firewood on his back, were placed in elementary schools throughout Japan.
		Located in front of the Mitsui Manufacturers Bank, the bronze memorial to Ninomiya (which should be titled Ninomiya Sontuko in recognition of the sage's official name, rather than Kinjiro, which was both his boyhood and his popular name) replicates the design but greatly enlarges the size of the pre-World War II statues.
		The issue as to whether it was an original because of its size or simply a replica of the pre-war statues was submitted to the Los Angeles County Art Museum for an opinion.

		Ninomiya Kinjiro was active in the early to mid-nineteenth century, at a time when the finances of both the Tokugawa shogunate itself and the various han, or feudal domains, were on the verge of bankruptcy, and farming communities across the country were in a state of near-ruin.
		In short, Ninomiya Kinjiro's cooperative ethic was not limited to the farmers but encompassed the entire han, including the feudal lord (which meant that the farmer and warrior class were working as one).
		It was Kinjiro's boundless love for the people who worked the land, combined with a sense of fairness that refused to back down even before the authority of the lord, that enabled him to maintain bundo from the farmers all the way up to the ruler of the domain.
