I've been into music lately, so after the Three Tenors, I went to another super-fancier concert: the Stradivarius Summit Concert. This concert brought together six Stradivarius violins, two violas, and two cellos, and was accompanied by concertmasters from orchestras around the world.

The Three Tenors in Tokyo 1996
I went to the concert of the Three Tenors at the National Kasumigaoka Stadium. The expensive seats were 75,000 yen. My wife was not feeling well, so we went by taxi, but there was a huge traffic jam and people who got out of the taxis were running towards the stadium. We were a little bit…

Strong Yen and Income In early 1995, when the yen suddenly became stronger, the business world was talking about "hollowing out" and such, as if something very bad had happened. Later that year, when the yen weakened, the news was broadcast as if the economy had been saved. I think that way of thinking is...

Intellectual Asset Creation, 1996 New Year's Edition, by Natsuhiko Sakimura The first office revolution, brought about by the widespread use of telephones, facsimiles, and copies, dramatically improved the productivity of white-collar workers, but it also created new bottlenecks, such as the emergence of managers as information brokers and the decline in work efficiency caused by talking on open floors.

Whenever there is a traffic jam, one argument that is always heard is something along the lines of, "Why is the toll so high on top of the congestion? Lower the toll."

"Future" Anthology of deceased poets (9) Excerpts by Komeiji Minoru Akimura Isao Died on July 4, 1990. He was 57 years old. He followed in the footsteps of Wagatsuma Yasushi's "Future Diary" and wrote intelligent and sophisticated prose. He was a person far removed from me, a country boy.

Magritte lies drowsily asleep in a midday dream. The shadow of an assassin falls on you, as the rain pours down. Words flutter about. Ginkgo leaves scatter in a riot. Magritte's eyes reveal a single cloud in the blue sky. The west is red. (At Ward 8B of the National Cancer Center)
