I will be pleased to discuss with you on any of items mentioned below.
Angkor : One of the world's greatest cultural heritage in Cambodia is collapsing
due to the natural environment there. Private citizens in Japan including
myself and wife as well as academia, corporations, and governmental bodies
join the studies and activities for its restoration with each own capacity.

Mongolia : History of Inner Mongolia from the 1930s to the 1940s is of
my interest. Suggestion of available materials on it, if any, will be appreciated.

"Hamoni no Ie" (The House of Harmony) : A concert hall with 80
seats in Tadeshina highland resort, located at 3 hour drive northwest from
Tokyo, has been jointly owned and operated by 110 club members of "Hamoni
no Ie no Kai" (The House of Harmony Club) since 1982. The club consists
of classic musicians, artists, scholars, doctors, lawyers, engineers, office
workers including myself. A few more memberships are available now for
ones who love classic music and friendship. Recommendation by club member
is requested to join it. Contact me, if interested.

Argentine Tango : Having a pretty bandoneon made in 1930, I play it "a
poco" with band mates occasionally. One of problems for us is shortage
of scores which are suitable for amateur players. Advice or suggestion
on it will be appreciated.

Renku : Renku, or Haikai, is the traditional chain poem in Japan. Kasen
is a typical format of Renku established by Basho in the 17th century which
consists of 36 one-line poems submitted consecutively by several attendants
according to some rules. I enjoy it with my friends, and will be pleased
to show you some of our recent works, in Japanese, or you can see them
on the book named "Shiboku Kasen" with reference number KH11-E656
at National Diet Library, Tokyo .
