Oita Godo Newspaper (February 5, 2009)

Oita in many aspects today will introduce 'Oita studies', a well - known university in Oita, Beppu University, Tsujino Kou; the lecturer (70 years) from 'Oita University 2 - Oita, the fascinate German' (published at Meiseki book shop). Three months left for the retirement being a professor. With the passion for Oita, so, he wants citizens to read his book as a request. 'Oita 2' is the name of Gohe organization. Which is the place aims to keep Oita's historical and cultural value. During the age of war the live activity in Oodomo household was in decline, his introduction starts from the Japanese feudal lord, Kazuma, he influenced the governing division in to a small segment separated from each other, and the aspects that have appeared in a history.

Tsuchino professor is from Kagawa prefecture - home town, graduated from Kyoto Arts Modeling University, teaching experience at Japan Bunri University (Oita), taught the same subject. During the time at Bunri University he started teaching 'Oita studies', opened as a lecture, further more, he has already launched books which have 4 volumes. For more than 40 years passed by until nowadays, Tsuchino professor as a living scholar will separate from this career soon, but after that he'll be staying in Oita and still wants open lecture. Tsuchino's message, 'from now on I will put my effort on the studies of Oita'. 

Comment; I wish I could attend this lecture but he's already finished. I'm interested in Japanese history and I think that Japanese young people nowadays, I mean from my point of view, they should be more active to keep this national treasure. There are not many people who can create a lecture like Tsuchino professor I guess. And that  means he has something special and a good basis of historical knowledge and also the skill to acknowledge to other people to see the same way he sees.
