It is engraved that the Akan National Park Tourism Association built the statue in 1958 in honor of the achievements of Takeshiro Matsuura, who is also the name of Kushiro. Takeshiro investigated the Ezo area (Hokkaido) from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji era, but at the same time he struggled alone to protect the human rights of the Ainu people.

One of the more than 50 monuments in Hokkaido. It seems that he has left about 150 survey records, but he must have been a great man who was very popular with everyone. Last year 2018 was 150 years after Hokkaido's naming and 200 years after Takeshiro Matsuura's birth. If you look closely, it will be helpful.
