Echizen Washi

I was invited to make a speech at a reunion party for my university in Osaka on Nov 23rd. Yesterday I was informed there would be more than 140 people joining to listen to my story.....  and half of them will be the university students.

My university is known as the one for studying international issues with the languages. There're twenty-five languages that you can learn. My major was Chinese from 1993-1998. So usually my paper life is very rare to be seen as a person who graduated that university. 

The title is ` From Echizen Washi Village To the World ` ................ !  Exaggerated a bit, but that's true in myself.  I always remember when I started papermaking my grandmother cried to see me working in a factory.  Well, life is interesting.
