Clark Statue is a Gotouchi Yokai Watch product available only in Hokkaido.
Etymology of the Graphic
The famous statue depicts William Smith Clark (July 31, 1826 – March 9, 1886), an American professor of chemistry, botany and zoology; a colonel during the American Civil War; and a leader in agricultural education.
In 1876, the Japanese government hired Clark as a foreign adviser to establish the Sapporo Agricultural College (SAC), now Hokkaido University. During his eight months in Sapporo, Clark successfully organized SAC, had a significant impact on the scientific and economic development of the island of Hokkaido, and made a lasting imprint on Japanese culture. Clark's visage overlooks Sapporo from several statues and his parting words to his Japanese students, "Boys, be ambitious!" (少年よ大志を抱け Shōnen yo, taishi o idake!) have become a nationally known motto in Japan.
To mark the 100th anniversary of Clark's arrival in Sapporo, the statue of Clark at Hitsujigaoka observation hill was built in 1976. Etched on the base of the statue are Clark's famous words, "Boys, Be Ambitious." The site is a popular tourist destination. (Wikipedia)
