In early September when one month passed after a charity dame image was installed in U.S. California Glendale City, the postmark which made a charity dame a motif appeared. It became the pattern that I pictured a girl image in in a meaning "to criticize a posture to refuse apology of Japan" by half.
In response to a request of local South Korean inhabitants, the city center post office decided that I used a postmark only in a period for a month dogmatically. The reporter went to visit the central post office day after day, but it was said, "the person in charge was not" to the staff on correspondence and was not able to confirm the existence of the postmark.
In response to a report from the Japanese Government, this is because a U.S. mail agency ordered collection. When "it is interference of the Japanese Government," according to the existing ground paper for Korean systems, the group supporting the issue of charity dame is going to display repulsion, a postmark in the municipal assembly.
A charity dame monument was installed in the East Coast in the United States, but Glendale City tries that a charity dame image same as in front of Japanese Embassy of Seoul was built for the first time until now. The South Korean activity is active, and the city is becoming "the sacred place" of the issue of charity dame in the United States.
That "the name of Glendale City will be known for such a form in Japan"
Mayor, Dave Weaver sighed in an interview in this way. Weaver who thought "why Glendale must shove a neck in the Japan-Korea problem" was against the setting of the charity dame image from the first

However, the mayor chosen from five members of the municipal assembly by turns for one year is not given the strong authority. Four people except Weaver agree, and the charity dame image setting is approved formally on July 9. A ceremony of the erection was held three weeks later.

The background where a charity dame image was installed in includes a frame of "sister city" "friendship town". The city linked the sister city relations to Konoura City in the suburbs of Seoul for Kojo county of Korean Gyeongsangnam-do, ten years in 2009. South Korean Chan Lee who became the city plan committee from 2008 became the part of control. A Korean system was 5.4%, but Lee was going to increase sister cities in approximately 190,000 population of Glendale afterwards. Because the city side showed disapproval of only Korea projecting, Lee utilized "the friendship town" which was an unofficial frame

The friendship town was almost decided on my recommendation". I added 5 cities in two years
Lee sticks out his/her chest in this way. Lee was not eager in the issue of charity dame from a beginning, too. The pressure from a friend of same Korea which worked on a charity dame resolution in the U.S. Lower House of 2007 ancestry was an opportunity.
