日本神戶華僑回國致敬團於民國54年10月31日,恭祝蔣中正總統七十九歲誕辰所贈。下體為「鼎」的造型,三足綴有猛獸雕飾,上半部則似「爐」,左右兩耳為龍形雕飾,可以拆卸,上方以火焰綴飾頂蓋,在爐腹刻有「恭祝 總統 七秩晉九華誕--萬壽無疆--日本神戶華僑回國致敬團敬獻」。木質底座紅絨墊,外有玻璃框罩。
神戶地區的華僑頗多,孫中山先生的革命事業與神戶淵源甚深,他曾18次到過神戶,得到了神戶各界的支持。蔣中正總統先生也到過神戶,並在當地有馬溫泉留下珍貴的照片。一直到現在神戶地區的華僑對於這兩位中國的偉人仍津津樂道。民國54年蔣中正總統79歲,生日當天他乘艦巡視蘭嶼,當時蘭嶼尚未開放,沒有對外的海空交通,據訪談隨扈人員,印象中還換了小艇登陸。
Kobe Overseas Chinese Homecoming Party from Japan presented this trophy, on October 31, 1965, to celebrating Chiang Kai-shek's 79th birthday. The trophy's lower part is a tripod raised on three feet headed by beasts, its bellied-stove upper part is sided by two detachable handles cast with dragon-shaped carvings, and its crown is topped by flame ornaments. The stove belly is inscribed with congratulatory inscriptions "In celebration of President Chiang's 79th birthday anniversary," "Boundless Happiness and Longevity," and "Respectfully, Overseas Chinese Homecoming Party from Kobe, Japan." The trophy raises on a wood base overlaid with red flannelette, and is set in a glass display case.
There were a lot of overseas Chinese living in Kobe area. Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary cause had its historical origins in Kobe. He had ever been to Kobe 18 times and won the supports of all sectors there. Mr. Chiang Kai-shek had had been to Kobe as well and left precious photos taken at Arima Onsen (Hot Springs). Until now, overseas Chinese living in Kobe still take delight in talking about the two great Chinese men. Chiang Kai-shek, on his 79th birthday in 1964, took a ship excursion to Lanyu. At that time, Lanyu was not open and didn't have air and sea communications yet. According to the interview with retinues of the President, they had taken a dinghy to land the island.
