On July 31, the Japanese Cultural and Community Center welcomed Tetsuo Matsushita to Seattle. Matsushita, a 21-year-old student from the International Christian University, made the journey from Los Angeles, Calif., to Seattle on a bicycle. Matsushita’s 24-day and 1,400-mile solo bike ride was a part of a charity to help raise funds towards Tohoku Relief, which aids victims still recovering from the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in 2011.
