A wonderful person I met in the ward-Part 3-"Japan-China friendship is from a familiar place"

[Shitamachi Tom] July 26, 2013 09:00

We will introduce wonderful people from those who live in Chuo-ku or work. This is the third time.
We visited Kenyoshi Hu, an advisor to Iinuma General Law Office, which has an office in Ginza 2-chome, and a doctor of law. Tiffany Building. JPG

 

A stylish [Tiffany] building that attracts a special eye on the main street of Ginza. On the 7th floor, "Iinuma Sogo Law Office" is located. One evening, when I visited Hu here, I was kindly interviewed. I was a little nervous because I was smiling and polite, so I was completely relieved.

 

Hu is from Shanghai, China. After graduating from the prestigious Fudan University, I decided to study abroad. As a result of narrowing down to the United States, Australia, and Japan, it was decided to be Japan. I'm glad you have chosen Japan. However, before studying abroad, he didn't know much about Japan so much, and he could hardly speak Japanese. In such a situation, my head goes down to the action that was decided and executed with courage.

In Japan, I studied law at Sophia University. I heard that I was able to meet a very good teacher. Since then, he has continued to study law, and now his main job is providing advice and consulting on contracts with foreign countries. A few books have been published. In today's world where overseas business is evolving more and more, it seems that the field of activity is expanding further.

 

 

Tom, "What do you think is necessary for business development overseas?"

Mr. Hu says, "Three of philosophy, business, and law are properly connected."

Tom "Yes. Inadvertently, you may lose your eyes to your immediate interests and lose sight of what you really wanted to do. Philosophy is important."

Mr. Hu, "That's right. If you are wondering, it is important to return to the starting point and think about it. In other words, businesses without "philosophy" will not last long."

As Mr. Hu said, "philosophy is important for business," he seems to be deeply considered about universal values. In fact, he is thinking how to make use of "troop law" that he has been interested in since high school in his business. In addition to "Sanko's Hyoho", which is well-known in Japan, he taught a part of the famous Hyoho Thirty-sixkei. One of the 36, "throwing balls," means "passing unvalued ones to enemies and getting high-value ones," but I think it is certainly a lesson that can be used in modern diplomacy and business. By the way, the phrase "I don't want to escape thirty-six meters" is not directly related to this military law, and it seems that someone used it in the sense of "Escape anyway, rather than military law."

When I was talking with Hu, I heard a lot of stories and made me feel very relaxed. I think this is Mr. Hu's personality. Although there are politically jerky parts between Japan and China, I reaffirmed the importance of open and interacting with each other from familiar places. I would like to promote "Japan-China friendship" because it is a neighboring country.

On the way home, Hu told me a "recommended lunch spot". [Mikimoto Lounge] located on the 3rd floor of [Mikimoto Boutique] in the same Ginza 2-chome. It is said that you can enjoy a relaxing and rich lunch time for 1,500 yen. Yeah, it certainly looks nice, but it feels hard for a man alone to enter. But I decided to visit it once.

 

 

After finishing a refreshing conversation with Hu, I stepped into the town of Ginza, and the stylish taste of the city fluttered in the lightness of summer evenings.
