 mp\; Japan Canada Chamber of Commerce 朝日ベースボール・アソシ
 エーション＆日本カナダ商工会議所共催\n\nThe Vancouver As
 ahi team was founded in 1914 and in the fall of 1921\, the team made a lon
 g awaited expedition to Japan and traveled all over Japan\, playing not on
 ly against university and adult baseball teams\, but also against the form
 er Wakayama Middle  School\, the winner of the National Middle School Bas
 eball Championship.\n\nThe Shin Asahi team\, which was established in 2014
  to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the founding of Vancouver Asahi
 \, has toured Japan every two years since 2015.\n\nSince the 4th Japan tou
 r of the Shin Asahi team scheduled for 2021 would be the 100th anniversary
  of the Vancouver Asahi team's 1921 Japan tour\, Yobun Shima  thought it 
 would be a good opportunity for the Shin Asahi to visit Wakayama Toin High
  School in Wakayama\, which the team had not visited in the past. He came 
 up with this idea because one of his ancestors was from Wakayama Prefectur
 e.\n\nYobun Shima met Mr.Omatsu\, manager of the school's baseball team. I
 n the course of their conversations\, he received a positive answer from M
 r. Omatsu\, and approached the Shin Asahi who decided to make it happen in
  2021.\n\nThe commemorative ceremony will be held online this year.\n\n
