Located at the edge of the western suburbs of the city of Kyoto, Nichibunken is a research institute located in the foothills, far from the city center. But it is a perfect environment for devoting oneself entirely to study. Indeed, its architectural structure is reminiscent of a monastery or temple.<\/p>\r\n

Facilities for communication have improved somewhat, but at the time of its founding [in 1987] Nichibunken was really inconvenient to have access to. First director-general, Umehara Takeshi decided on the location. I was then young and so I confronted: \u201cDon\u2019t tell me, Umehara-sensei, that you\u2019ve chosen this place to rival Priest Saich\u014d\u2019s monastery on Mt. Hiei?\u201d<\/p>\r\n

I may have been right, for Umehara-sensei, wearing a serious look, said in response, \u201cInoue-kun, don\u2019t tell that to others.\u201d It seems that in his mind priest Saich\u014d in the ninth-century and he himself toward the end of the twentieth century formed an east-west pair. A great man like him thinks on a larger scale than us, doesn\u2019t he?<\/p>\r\n
