* Mr. Hiroshi Murata, one of my cousins, who has been living in French Town in New Jersey, U.S.A., has an exhibition of his works in Tokyo after years. I was invited to attend its opening party from five o'clock held at a small gallery in Azabu-Jyuban, Tokyo. There was a large turnout at the party. It was a great success. The exhibition was consisted of three categories, namely the constructions of aluminium (relief), paintings and photographs. He made many master pieces successively but this time he prepared the small works fit for Japanese homes which have only limited walls for exhibiting arts within houses. But his superior creativeness was expressed in every one of his works. I enjoyed fully the exhibition ( if you want to have more about him, please refer to the following web.site: hiroshimurata.com ）.

It was a rare occasion when two couples of my cousins met together. Mr. "K" (the left one on the picture ) has joined recently a manufacturer of wind power generators. He said the biggest one could generate 5,000 kw.

* After the party, I went out to Ginza to join a free talk meeting with youths. No one except me did not know that exercise tax was imposed in U.S.A. even after the end of Pacific War. Being inspired by this fact, I talked about the reminiscences until late in evening.
