Hanover and Dartmouth Host Visitors from Nihonmatsu, Japan

This summer, Dartmouth, Hanover, and Nihonmatsu, Japan, are celebrating the 20th anniversary of a three-way friendship. Hanover is Nihonmatsu’s sister city in the U.S. The two communities host exchange programs honoring the legacy of Nihonmatsu native Kan’ichi Asakawa, Class of 1899, the first student from East Asia to graduate from Dartmouth. After earning his PhD at Yale, Asakawa returned to Dartmouth as a lecturer in Japanese culture and history.
