    Diary '17/9/6. To decide a name of the product It was a tough day today. I had to make the catalog for a new product. At first, I needed to decide the name of the product. I had thought it would be easy task but it didn't. So I asked my colleague a favor. She gave me a bunch of ideas and names. Unfortunately, most of them were sucks. I ended up thinking about it by myself and I finished at 10am.

    Diary '17/9/1-2 Ken Okuyama Design Shop In this weekend, I had a pretty good time. On Saturday, I designed a prototype using 3D printer in the morning. After that, I went to jiujitsu class and enjoyed rolling with my friends. On the next day, I visited Ken Okuyama Design Shop in Yamagata prefecture. It took me for 2 hours by train. Since I've been so into his design philosophy recently, I couldn't wait for visiting there. There were several products that were made by local traditional makers with his design studio. They included casting pot, caterers, tables, chairs and carpets. Some of them have so special method to make that any other makers couldn't imitate. Every products has not only special value itself but also ability to change atmosphere around it and mentality of those who use it. I hope I will produce those kind of products in the near future.

    Diary '17/8/31 Meeting with my clients Today, I had a meeting with one of my clients. I've worked with him for over 2 years. He always has a chat before talking business. Since he used to work in the navy, he explained the missile from North Korea and the intercepting system in Japan. According to his explanation, it was a ballistic missile and it is very hard to intercept. The only chance is shooting it when it comes to the top of parabola. He also said he would do the same thing as North Korea if he were in the same position. The reason was that if they show the ability to launch a missile, US would never try to shoot against them.

    Diary '17/8/30. Intercepting system As always, I had an online English speaking class this morning. Continuing from yesterday, we talked about the missile from North Korea. He asked me if Japan has a missile intercepting system. I said we have one but it might not work for some kinds of missiles that fall at sharp angle like almost vertical. He was interested in how North Korea government motivates their army. I'm interested in it , too. Maybe they could resist the government in the near future. I went to work at 9 'o'clock. Today I made a bunch of 3D printed cases for my prototypes. Some of them need to be painted. It could be tough work but it always give me a joy. I will keep it up tomorrow.

    Diary '17/8/29 Missile from neighborhood I talked with my English teacher through Skype in the morning. We talked what we did yesterday and the missile from Japanese neighbor this morning. He asked me what the purpose of North Korea was. He said they didn't have any ability to fight against US or Japan because they didn't even have enough food. He also said it was weird that Korean Peninsula was divided into two countries. I agreed with his opinion, because they used to be one country. I hope that two country would become one in the near future. As I live in modern democratic country, I feel it strange that there are some communist nations in the neighborhood in this 21st century. I feel sorry for people in North Korea, people in Tibet, people in Uighur. I want to do something for them, but I have no idea what to do. I think the only solution is to change the government. After the lesson, I started to work. Today I made some prototypes of wireless alarming devices. It went pretty well. Tomorrow I'm going to write specification sheets about them.

    Diary '17/8/28. As always I had an English speaking lesson at 8 'o'clock. The teacher was from Philippine. I like him for his cheerful personality. I talked about a book that I'm reading now. It's about Chinese spies. I explained big threat about them, but he responded like everybody wants to rule the world. He changed the subject and claimed that Malaysia volleyball team was doing something coward against Philippine team. After the lesson, I started to work. Today I fixed some circuits and tried to connect our sensors to internet. I had to learn new programming language:

    My Job (1) I started my carrier as a mechanical engineer in one of the largest electrical manufacturer in Japan. I engaged in designing an instrument panel of a car for three years. After that, I joined a sensor manufacturer that provide ultrasonic sensors. This is where I work now. I satisfy my job because I had a lot of opportunities to use wide variety of technology, not only mechanical engineering but also electrical engineering , software engineering and so on.

    Mt.Fuji in 2017 One of my routine at start of new year is climbing a mountain. Some mountains are easy access of Tokyo. I decided to go Mt.Oyama which is located in Kanagawa Pref. There are 2 reasons why I climb the mountain. First one is to take a picture of Mt.Fuji. In this season, we can take it very beautifully. Second, I like to climb the mountain itself. I love the moment that I dedicate myself to climbing without thinking anything. Here is the picture of Mt.Fuji. Hope you all enjoy your new year!

    寒がりなので、かぜをひいた

    この間、気温がずっと下がってた。気づかないの間に私は風邪を引いっちゃった。私は寒がりな人間だ。ちっちゃい頃から冬は嫌いだけど、雪は見たかった。てほしかった。冬になって私は学校を休みむようになりたくなっちゃった。だが、わがままするのは無理だ。人間はいくら冷たくても仕事とか学校とか休まない停止しないのだ。もしできたらよかったら、私は蛙になってなりたく、冬になると冬眠するのはいいなぁと思ってた。風邪なんとかないし、仕事とかないし、蛙のことは羨ましい。今私は蛙になれたらならいいのに。。

    ｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰ

    僕も冬眠したいです。:-)

    Essential quality to become an astronaut 2 years ago, I stayed in San Jose, California for 2 weeks to join a MAKER FAIRE. (A big event for makers) When I prepared something for the event in a co-working space , a woman talked to me. She looked about 50 years old and interested in my chicken robot. She asked me a lot of question about the robot with her curious eyes. Some of her questions were so technical that I couldn't answer very well. . She was accompanied by a man. He said that she was NASA astronaut, Cady Coleman. I couldn't believe it because I thought that an astronaut couldn't talked to me about stupid robot. I searched her on the web and found her in Wikipedia. She was a really astronaut and went to a space station at 2011. After I talked with her, I was interested in her not just because she was an astronaut but also she was very cute, openminded person, and sometimes looked very brave. She had something that made me feel that It is OK to die with her in a rocket. I thought astronauts must have not only a very high skill and knowledge but also have a nice character.
