Kaneko Oshima Bishop
With both saddened hearts and deep appreciation that the San Diego-Yokohama Sister City Society reflects on the life of former SDYSCS President Kaneko Oshima Bishop, who passed away on January 8 of 2022. Mrs. Bishop will be fondly remembered as a pioneer in citizen diplomacy between the United States and Japan. She established a fruitful exchange of people, culture, and know-how between her adopted city of San Diego and its sister city counterpart Yokohama, in addition to many other cultural exchange projects.
Her contributions were recognized by the Government of Japan when she received Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Rays, the Commendation of the Consul General of Japan, and City of Yokohama Cultural Award. Please take a moment in joining us to remember the life and legacy of Mrs. Bishop.
