By holding these lectures, even people who had never been interested in history said they wanted to learn more, and I felt that I had lit a fire in someone’s heart, which gave me confidence. We will continue to work on “continuing to communicate” in all forms.

I want to embody in my life the meaning behind Shohei-san’s holding this lecture. Thank you Shohei-san for the wonderful lecture! ●Staff and customers are very enthusiastic. Shohei Sano, who gathered over 150 such people, is truly an amazing man. ●Shohei-san’s lecture was based on famous quotes from great people from the past, and he talked about things that can be brought back to us in an easy-to-understand manner, and it was nice to be able to listen to him talk as if it were my own business. In addition, there was a discussion for each chapter, and I was very happy to have new encounters and communication…The venue decorations, the display of matchlock guns, the cool videos…and Mr. Borasta’s response was all wonderful! ●It was extremely stimulating. It was an amazing lecture that even if you’re not a history buff, you’ll find it interesting! Situation of the day
