I’ve been involved in energy industry throughout my business career, but I seriously considered what I originally wanted to do, when I step back from the line.
Various history related books and stories gave me comfort and enjoyment even when I was so busy in hard work.  
Over 40 years ago, I spent additional 2 years to pass the examination of university, such books sometime gave me excuses to escape from struggling with mathematics and also gave me comfortable time in crowded commuter train after starting to work.
Our lives are limited, but once learning past affairs and persons, it’s enjoyable to have simulation experiences, and they make our journey doubly attractive. 
Japan is an unique nation to have abundant stories and relics, still remaining old cultures and disciplines.
Samuel P Huntington defined Japan can be categorized as one of 9 civilizations in The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order.  
I wish Japan could keep Japanese touch in a good sense. 

I’m writing compelling stories and feelings gathered during my trips and by readings, and hopefully they could contribute my exploration of history.
Honestly, I’m getting 60, afraid not enough time to master them academically.

So I just conveniently cherry pick nice stories, beautiful pictures, food and drinks, which could be shared with nice friends. 

I was born in Kanazawa, and have lived in Tokyo.
Except them, I’ve stayed in Hiroshima for 5 years, Los Angeles in 6 years, and Houston in 3 years.
I’m an avid but bad golf player, love to learn geo science, chemical and universe which I got to know through energy business, and love Hanshin Tigers (Japanese professional baseball team).
