Ultra conservative Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara will be in Washington April 13-18. He will participate in Cherry Blossom Festival activities, talk at Georgetown University, give a public speech at the Heritage Foundation, and hold a roundtable at CNAS. He also had a private meeting with Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell to discuss the commercial use of Yokota AF Base. He is likely more interested in having Japanese planes reclaim the Imperial Army's Tama Airfield than bringing in more tax yen for Tokyo. HERE is a picture of the Governor in the Cherry Blossom Parade held on the 14th.
