Question from a Reader:
Is Tadao Hike already deceased?
Tadao Hike and His Influence
What a nostalgic name. I heard that Tadao Hike passed away in 2015. His way of life was truly unconventional, exuding the essence of the Showa era. Born into a family of doctors and earning a Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo, his background resonates even today.
I believe his lifestyle back then was free yet simultaneously influenced many people around him. Similar to him, Oki was also born into a wealthy family. I feel like there must have been something common between the two of them. Perhaps it was a strong will for love, friendship, and self-expression that drew them together.
My Experience at the Judicial Scrivener Office
Recently, while working part-time at a judicial scrivener’s office, I recalled a memory. One day, I arrived too early and was waiting in front of the office when a colleague said, “Just eat some snacks while you wait.” In the end, I ended up eating too many snacks that day, and I was embarrassed when my stomach growled during work. These little incidents really help lighten the atmosphere at the workplace. I think living freely and uniquely, like Hike did, is important even in today’s world. Cultivating love and friendship with those around us, just like he did, enriches our lives. I encourage everyone to share their memories of Tadao Hike or their own experiences in the comments. It would be great if we could all discuss even the smallest things together.
