Where is hachiko's statue located?
The Hachikou statue is a statue of a dog that sits outside Shibuya station in Tokyo. It is a popular meeting place, because it's easy to spot, and in the large, concrete area that greets you when exiting the station, it can be hard to find who you're looking for. (At night time, in particular, it can get very crowded.)
The story is that the dog used to wait everyday outside the station for its master to return. When finally the master died, it continued waiting and waiting for as long as ten years. To commemorate its loyalty, the statue was created.

Reclothing the First Lady of Metals -- Repair Concerns
completed on October 28, 1886.
"As her 100 birthday approached, the National Park Service decided she needed to be cleaned. Her copper was beginning to age. People in France and in America sent money for the restoration and by July 4 ,1986 she was cleaned and polished."
Bicarbonate of Soda (baking soda) is used to clean the copper surface of the Statue of Liberty. It does cause some discoloration that fades with time.
".....baking soda has long been recognized for its exceptional cleaning abilities beyond household applications. It was used to restore the Statue of Liberty in the 1980's, chosen for its ability to clean without destroying the integrity of the statue's surface."
I know it has been cleaned because I was there when it was having the major repairs and cleaned for the 100 yr Celebration process. I also was there after it was completed.

And the tablets symbolize the importance of remembering important events. There are three statues of liberty, one in New York, one in Paris, France, and another one in a garden somewhere in America. The statue, in N.Y. was also the symbole of promise and welcome to the people who immigrated from other countries and came through Ellis Island to become a citizen of America. The statue of liberty has this inscription written on the torch, Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" It means something, I just can't figure it out. Watch National Treasure to learn more about her and the man that influenced The Statue of Liberty's importance and her value.
