Introduce myself ; A 60-year-old Pediatrician. Since April 1997,
I have doing private Clinic for children, just 100m from Ube
Senior High school, Ube Japan.
Recently, I met a high school classmate, 42 yrs after graduation !
---------- said, " you look like the 70' year old." I have shocked.
1948: born in Tenri city, Nara, Japan.
1966: graduated Tenri Senior High School.
1975: graduated Yamagichi University School of Medicine.
1976-78: Yamaguchi Central Hospital, Hofu
1985-87: Universite Catholique de Louvain, Bruxelles, Belgique.
1979-97: Department of Pediatrics, Yamaguchi University School
of Medicine
1997- present: Kami-Ube Pediatric Clinic
married to Sachie Nishijima and 3 sons.
I remembered Bike traveling around the Kyushu region
with two friends as a university student. Again, one of
my future plans is doing bicycle travel in Europe.
For instance ; Hamburg→ Amsterdam→ Frankfurt
→Paris → Loire river → Marseille → Cannes → Pisa
→ Rome → Athene → Istanbul

In 15th January 1948, I was born in Tanbaichi, Tenri city, about 25km
My father and eldest uncle had been opening a retail shop of fishes and
Japanese cuisine. The shop name was "Uoiwa". I am 3rd generation
of "Uoiwa". But my father and uncle(the oldest brother of my father)
were very anxious about me, and thought that this son was not
suitable for family business.
My grandparents brought up 5 sons and 4 daughters. The eldest son
inherited fish store, and second,third son had one's fish shop each.
The fifth son was a medic and died in battle, due to gun shot of head
at Xuzhou Jiangsu, mainland China in 1941.
My father was 4th son and got military duties as a soldier of the
communication corps in Mainland China for 10 years. After World
War second, father came back without injuries and married to my
mother. My mother was born in Nikaidou, neighborhood of Tanbaichi,
as 3rd daughter, where her parent owned the cloth retail-shop.
One day, In my early childhood, my mother was said in this way by
a Buddhist priest----- As for your first son, in the future, he will leave
this place and destined to go to the place where your hand does not
reach ------- . The Monk prediction was right.
During elementary school days, the hope of my future, I wanted to
Business or Trade.
When I graduated from elementary school, according to the
suggestion of uncle ( the oldest brother of my father) who was
Tenrikyo believer, I entered Tenri junior high school and Tenri senior High school, which is associated with Tenrikyo, a New
Religion which was founded by a woman, Miki Nakayama in Meiji.
During 6 years, I lived in some specific world, religious environment
of Tenrikyo, which gave me a deep impact. The classmates of Tenri
high school came from various parts of Japan and sons or daughters
of Tenrikyo followers.
Before the university entrance examination, my friend said that I go
to Electronics and what you? He was excellent in Mathematics and
Physics. I could not follow him. Although I was good achievement
in Chemistry and Biology, but not good in Mathematics, Physics or
Athletic ability. I abandon to become an engineer, researcher of
Meteorological agency or Japan Coast Guard.
