Highlights:

This would be the last day of holidays for all of Japan.  Therefore the beginning of the working year 2019. There is much to do and much to think about and the fortune of the year will depend much on what we will achieve this week. 

The First Day of Work – Year 2019:

Follow up with the immediate duties 

There is a lot that needs to achieve here from Tokyo and this month I am going to expend the Japanese members’ team into an international one. Today I got a call from Ernest Egueth from Benin who has an entire African network here in Tokyo. He is the leader of an African music group who came to our support last year in February at the occasion of the Kimono Welcoming Banquet for Ambassadors. Since the Benin Ambassador of Tokyo was a great participant of the event, we have on this day decided that this year event, he could become the guest of honor to chairman the festivity. We have not decided a date as just yet but I believe it will be around springtime.

By the way of tradition, we owe to visit our family in Japan at New Year. Today was the day and a trip back to Kanamachi Tokyo was all the while a very good experience. This is where Zeus, my son was born in the Katsushika ward made famous by the 48 movie series “Tora-San” which also happen to be one of my favorite series ever. Tora-san a Japanese vagabond define the heart of Japan, in the purest form of the family and social structure of Japanese people now and then. Therefore that area holds a special place in my heart. My children’s grandparent in their early 80’s are so fine and the communication went as far as planning a family trip in 2019. Ayumi pulled out old albums where I instinctively started to “electronic” these precious photos which time passing had turned it away from their original colors. It’s funny how time can fly so fast but yet it does feel we’ve been here forever. I guess we do not hold any memory of our own birth for the simple fact that eternity should never really have a beginning, just like it never does have an ending. I, therefore, welcome this day or this year to never end and so we do have little time to sleep at night so at the wake up call, we could greet the day as if it has always been the same day, since the beginning of time and therefore a chance to start fresh again with no regrets of yesterday.
