The Order of the Sacred Treasure is conferred twice a year by His Majesty. the Emperor of Japan. upon a foreign or Japanese individual who has rendered extraordinary service toward the promotion of closer friendship and bonds between Japan and a foreign nation. Mr. Takechi was born in Kochi. Japan. in 1913 and emigrated to the United States in 1930. He is a founding member of the Japanese American Citizens League. adviser to the Omaha Sister City Association. an honorary member of the Omaha Chapter of Ikebana International. the Committee on Foreign Relations. and the Downtown Rotary Club in Omaha. He is also one of Omahas most respected and admired businessmen. and it is a distinct privilege for me to take this opportunity to share his exceptional achievement with my colleagues.*
