JIAマガジンの編集長を7年近く勤めることができたのは南口さんと言う有能な編集者がいたから。理科大の研究室を14年間運営できたのは歴代の助手と博士の働きがあったから。共著本が生まれるのは有能な共著者たちのおかげ。設計事務所DAにはパートナーの中川くんがいて、家には配偶者がいる。秋からは海外で教えるがそこには優れた友がいる。常に有能なサポーターに恵まれていることに改めて感謝したい。I was able to serve as editor-in-chief of JIA Magazine for nearly seven years thanks to a capable editor, Minamiguchi-san. I was able to run the research lab at Tokyo University of Science for 14 years thanks to the work of my successive assistants and doctoral students. Iam lucky to have excellent co-authors to make books with them. I have a partner, Nakagawa-kun, at the design firm DA, and a spouse at home. I will be teaching overseas from autumn, where I have an excellent friend. I would like to express my gratitude once again for always being blessed with such capable supporters.
