Alongside Masatsugu Odaira, the embassy's Minister of Public Affairs, Lindsey and Kolyn go behind the scenes of diplomacy with a firsthand look at the embassy's authentic Japanese tea house called Ippakutei.

As America prepares to celebrate our 250th birthday, it is imperative that all Americans recall those things that made our nation unique. There are fundamental principles that formed the foundation that produced the greatest nation in the world. Those principles were laid out in our Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, and put into operation eleven years later when our Constitution was written and ratified. The Declaration stated succinctly the important principles that express what our Founding Fathers had in their hearts and minds: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the…Open

They recognized then that we were an incredibly blessed people residing on incredibly blessed…Open

And that perspective is shaped by the forces that shaped who I am: my Judaism, the journey of my mother from communist Czechoslovakia, and the mundane life of a young kid growing up in the suburbs of a blue-collar, East Coast American city. An American childhood The late 1960s, when I gained awareness of the society around me, was still a deeply patriotic world in the suburbs. Yes, we saw the images on TV of Vietnam, and we had our moments. I remember sitting on the porch of my parents’ home as a seven-year-old seeing the glow on the horizon as Baltimore burned in the 1968 riots.…Open
