Photos during my stay in Germany as a post-doctoral fellow at the soil science institute in the University of Hamburg.

   From July 1983 to October 1984, I experienced a post doctoral study at the University of Hamburg under the guidance of Prof. Hans Wilhelm Scharpenseel. My research subject was the determination of soil age of the different size fractions in Chernozem soils. In the first 4 months, I stayed in Bremen to attend a German language course at the Goethe Institute, and started the research at Hamburg University from November 1983.

Photos taken while I was staying in Nagoya from 1984 - 1990.

   These photos were taken in 1984, when my daughter was 2 years old and my first son was just born. In December of 1984, I started to work at the Soil Science laboratory of Nagoya University as an assistant professor. I lived in a university staff housing of Nagoya University in Mizuho district of Nagoya city.
