4 . The sister cities of Sapporo and Portland, in Japan and Oregon, US, share more than a cosmopolitan outlook: Both were frontier towns in the second half of the nineteenth century and then developed into important centers of city life and culture.

Founded in 1845, Portland became rich through serving as a shipping port and through its lumber business. Agriculture is also important to Portland, and the area has become known for the fine wines produced there.

In 1857, Japanese people arrived on the island of Hokkaido. Sapporo was settled as a farming community and later became a producer of beer and milk products. In the 1880s, it became a center for the export of coal. Sapporo also hosted the 1972 Winter Olympics.

Portland became Sapporo’s first “sister city” in 1959. In 1986, the Sapporo Sister Cities Association was founded, and Sapporo went on to create ties to cities in Germany, China, and Russia. Portland also enlarged its family with other sister cities.

The deep tones of a huge bronze bell, a gift from Sapporo to Portland, resonate at certain times throughout the area near the Portland Convention Center. Another gift, an antique stone lantern in the form of a tower that arrived in 1963, was placed near the Upper Pond in Portland’s Japanese Garden on stones arranged in the shape of the island of Hokkaido.
