In Memoriam: Jiro Murase
 |
It is with great sadness that we share the news of Jiro Murase’s passing on Tuesday, August 5 in New York City, at the age of 86. Mr. Murase, one of the most highly respected and prominent lawyers and advisors working U.S.-Japan relations, was a supporter and friend of Japan Society for nearly four decades. He served on the Japan Society Board of Directors from 1978 to 2005, when he became a Life Director. Mr. Murase contributed enormously to Japan Society, and played an important role as a leader of the Japanese and American business communities, holding significant positions in a number of civic, professional and educational institutions. We extend our deep condolences to his son and Japan Society Board member Satoru Murase, daughter-in-law Hiroko, daughter Miwa Murase De Bourbon, and their families.
