Graduated from Leyden University and thereafter I did research at the Kyushu Institute of Design, Fukuoka Japan. I'm especially interested in the Japanese beliefs concerning death and bodily remains as they relate to brain death and organ transplant, issues that are for many years the subject of much debate in Japan.
Since 2002-present I am working for an international corporation, but pick up above studies again when I am not playing chess.
Translantion was done by Ralph Seewald and Hiromi Okamoto.Part of the translation is published in Seewald, Ralph. (1998.6)
