If the people of Japan and China could maintain the same kind of friendship that I had with these two gentlemen, then even after thousands of years, we would be able to promote the cooperation and harmony between our two nations.

I deeply appreciate the village of Arao, which produced a righteous man like Mr. Miyazaki, who respected justice and humanity and worked not only for his own country but also for his neighboring nation.

[5][3] Their father, Chōzō Miyazaki, was generous with his personal wealth and used it to help the impoverished, even taking responsibility for dealing with the aftermath of local fires.

After Tamizō's death in 1928, Jinbei Kawaguchi, who worked for the Miike Coal Mine company, purchased the house and became the new owner in 1931.

[10] The section that was added during the time the Kawaguchi family owned the property was removed to restore the building to its original state,[8] and a new Miyazaki Brothers Museum was constructed as part of the 50th anniversary commemorative project of Arao City.

Notable visits included an inspection by the Consul General of China in Fukuoka (in June), a visit by a delegation of the Hong Kong Chinese General Chamber of Commerce and other members of Hong Kong's financial world (in July), and an inspection and tour by the Japan-China Youth Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition delegation (also in July).

[3] In 2013, the Chinese Ambassador to Japan also visited and left behind a calligraphy inscription reading 'Jiwang Kailai' (继往开来, meaning 'carrying forward the work of our predecessors and opening up the future').

The family's origin is considered to have begun when the first-generation patriarch, Masayuki, married the daughter of Furusawa Yazaemon, the head of the Arao village.

This discontent, along with worries about the future of Japan as an independent nation, led him to become involved in the Freedom and People's Rights Movement.

[18] He was inspired by Nakae Chōmin's "A Discourse by Rousseau on Social Contract", and established the Ueki School, promoting the ideas of the Freedom and People's Rights Movement.

[6] It was largely through Hachirō's popularity that the youngest brother, Tōten, could make contact with influential politicians such as Inukai Tsuyoshi, who would later become Prime Minister, allowing him to contribute to Sun Yat-sen's rebellion.

[18] With the death of Hachirō, Tamizō, who inherited the family estate, came to the belief that land ownership is one of the fundamental human rights after seeing the impoverished conditions of the people in rural areas.

[19][6] However, in 1910, Tamizō, whose name was included in a "List of Japanese Socialists and Anarchists" compiled by the Home Ministry, had close relationships with socialist-anarchists like Kōtoku Shūsui and Matsuo Uitta, who were involved in the High Treason Incident plot to assassinate Emperor Meiji, and his house was searched as a result.

Although Tamizō himself was studying in Korea at the time, his wife was questioned, and the land reform movement he was leading in Japan had to be suspended.

He aimed for the solidarity of Asian peoples and the restoration of human rights, with the aspiration of initiating a revolution in China as a precursor to building an ideal nation.

He sympathized with the revolutionary Pan-Asianism advocated by his elder brother Yazō and shared the same ideals as Sun Yat-sen, whom he met.

[6] In 1902, Tōten introduced the then-unknown Sun Yat-sen in his autobiography "My Thirty-Three Years' Dream", which recounted the first half of his life.

[18] After witnessing Sun Yat-sen's final moments, Tamizō continued to work on securing funds for the land reform movement.

As a result, he sold off all the land that his brother Tamizō had distributed to him as part of their inheritance to fund the revolution, leading to severe financial hardship for the family.

Under the orders of the Japanese government, which acted at the behest of the Qing Dynasty, the Miyazaki family was under surveillance by the Special Higher Police.
