I went to the National Cancer Center Tokyo Central Hospital before noon. The radiotherapy on me was scheduled to start from November 12th, Monday and to continue everyday for seven weeks, except Saturday, Sunday and holidays. The bottom pictures were taken to show the hospital building and its surroundings.
The main hospital building is a nineteen story building. From a restaurant on 19th floor, you can see the rainbow bridge over the Sumida river mouth. The Tsukiji Fish Market was built on the southern side of hospital. Many big trucks are going in and out at short intervals.

On west side, a high rise building is under construction. The headquarter building of Asahi News Paper stood on the west side of hospital. To the "Tsukiji Market" subway station, an elevator is installed on road side. No individual house is built around here. The place is more like a newly developed land. If the Tsukiji Market is moved to the other place and the proper development plan is carried out on its site, a very quiet town will be built up there,

I received a letter from Mrs. Koiso informing Mr. Katsunao Koiso, her husband, was dead in last September at the age of 79 (or 80.) Late Mr. Koiso made efforts to promote the spread of motorcycles and mini vehicles and recorded its history in details. He authored a few books covering the motorcycle and mini vehicle industry. His works are almost only records available now for researchers of the industry. A few months ago, I received a post card from him. He said he had recovered from illness completely and would like to be active again. But when I talked to Mrs. Koiso today, she said her husband could not move well his right hand at that time so that he could not write post card. It became clear that his post card was my imagination. Mr. Koiso's earnest wish to recover might have called me, I presume.
I pray for the repose of his soul.
