MY PRINCIPLES October 1, 1935 is the day when our design office was established. Since then, for 35 years of hardships, I believe I could keep honesty through all my work of architecture somehow thanks to the kind understanding and support by people surrounding me. They say people change along with the stream of time. But, I believe there must be something which never changes in the philosophy of human being. Learning the advancement of life since its birth from the chaos of the universe and the fate of human being, I will continue my effort to make solid judgement on what is to change and what is not to change in my life work of architecture. September, 1970
