March 9th, Tue: Rain
It rained again. I am tired of this weather.
At 11 AM, I went to the Doho Gakuen in Nagoya to attend a ceremony to give appointment letter to the president of the Nagoya College of Music.
The associate professor, Mr. Hajime Takahashi will assume his position as a new president of the Nagoya College of Music. He studied politics at university. He is only 46 years old and would attract of attention from inside and outside the Doho Group of Educational Institutions. Everyone expect much of this young president. Please see his blog and twitter from here.

At 1 PM, I had a meeting with Mr. Yoshitaka Kinose about a poster competition called “the first Poster Gran Prix.” I will act as a chairman of the awards committee at the competition.
Mr. Kinose is a president of Kinose Printing Co., Ltd., and also the vice president of the Aichi Printing Industry Association. Mr. Kinose and I have known each other for long time. Some of our graduates also work for his company. The company is enjoying considerable success. They also expanded into Dalian, China. Our university have established educational and academic partnership with Dalian Nationalities University. So we had a great conversation about Dalian.
Mimosa flowers was blooming in front of the A building. Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama presented bouquets of flowers of Mimosa to ten female reporters on the International Woman’s day. Italian men also have the custom of giving the Mimosa flower to women in March.
