I'm passionate about
Since the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake hit our hometown in 1995, I have been very passionate about revitalization of Kobe.
An idea worth spreading
As Kobe has a mixture of old and new, I myself in similar in that I came from a traditional family, now mixed with the latest technology.
Living with a family of 4 generations, 12 members, 5 of my own children, from a 90-year-old to a baby who is not yet 1-years-old, my family is no longer a typical family like it used to be in Japan.
However, with this new mix we sometimes find new unexpected ways to do things, and a lot of new ideas are born out of it. It is like passing well preserved wisdom to the next generation.
I see Kobe as an extended version of my family. So many great people, so much to share.
