2004-05-26 2912 Sapporo, Hokkaido - Odori Park
This sculpture in Odori Park was made by local artist Takashi Mine in 1982 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Sapporo Rotary Club. The Deer, the Rabbit, the Owl and the Crow are debating the Four-Way Test of Morality in Business central to Rotary ethics. In the Japanese form, balancing the positive and the negative, these are:
- Is it the truth, and never a lie?
- Is it fair to all concerned, and not unfair to anyone?
- Will it build goodwill and better friendships, and no enemies?
- Will it be beneficial to all concerned, and not harmful to anyone?
