On February 22, 1732, a significant figure was born into this world.
His name was George Washington, hailed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army and the first President of the United States. He is revered as the Founding Father of America and is beloved by many.
As we commemorate the 290th anniversary of his birth on February 22, 2022, a new chapter of history unfolds in Japan, far away from Washington, D.C.
