All Random Talks from October 2004 to May 2006 were compiled into a book entitled “Explore Japan from the land of Mt. Fuji”. We hope that our readers, many of whom purchased the book through online bookstores in Japan, have enjoyed our book and found it interesting. The human race has engaged in international communication since ancient times, and we are proud to continue this tradition. Knowing the history of a specific place stimulates us more. When I am in Miho-no-Matsubara, Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka City, I can feel how Claude Monet looked out from here and drew Mt. Fuji across the seasons.
