On Saturday, June 17, 2023, the celebration of the Statue of Miyamoto Musashi took place on the Esplanade of the Miyamoto Musashi dojo (in front of the main facade of the Lyon-Japan-Japan-France Memorial) in the presence of the authority concerned. The 1m80 bronze statue cast by the Adobati foundry, is offered by a Japanese artist to all the inhabitants of Gleizé. The Certificate of Authenticity was given at this time and recalls the twinning established since March 4, 1999 (date of foundation of the Miyamoto Musashi dojo) with Ohara-Cho (province of Mimasaka).
