On August 3rd, I hosted an event to celebrate the 100th birthday of my great teacher, Hiromasa Setamatsu Sensei. I will never forget what Setamatsu Sensei did for me. I have been given the opportunity to contribute to the growth of children every day. I believe that the best way I can repay my teacher is to continue creating opportunities for children to have encounters and experiences that will help them live with hope, making them think, “I want to become this kind of person!” and “I want to live this kind of life!”

8月3日、私の偉大な師である瀬田松弘昌先生の生誕100周年を祝うイベントを開催しました。 瀬田松先生が私にして下さったことは決して忘れず、子どもたちの健やかな心身の成長に携わる人生を私は与えられ、子どもたちが「こんな人間になりたい！」「こんな生き方がしたい！」と、希望を持って生きて行ける出会いや経験が出来る機会を作り続けることが、師匠に対して弟子の私が出来る恩返しの一つだと信じています。
