102 Years Young: still shining...

Dr. Saburo Shochi (昇地三郎博士): wow. 102? could've fooled me...there is a lot more to this man than just the simple fact that he's a centenarian. He's about to embark on his fifth world tour, sharing his magic and his knowledge, and he just finished his latest book about his extraordinary life...and we just happened to have a little barbecue with this sensei...
















"I was not confident whether we would have time enough to translate the notes of “102 Years Young” into English as I finish them just two weeks before the book’s publication. However, we got help from some friends of the design editor Andre Yoshimoto and thanks to them, now I can send the book to the people I met abroad in my world around lecture tours. Today we had a barbecue party in my home as a way to say thank you to the American, French and Chinese students. Although they are leaving Japan to their home countries in September, I am sure I will have new opportunities to meet them again…"
