About a year after undergoing critical surgery for pancreatic cancer, Mr. Tadayuki Kyotani, a former senior member of Seiwajyuku* and a well-respected business leader in Japan, came to Hawaii. He has overcome a severe battle with the disease. He joined a study session of Dojo RITAH (Seiwajyuku Hawaii’s successor group), where he shared his experience of inexhaustible research for early cancer detection and the best treatment methods. He also emphasized the importance of meticulous attention to health, diet, and medical literacy.
On November 5, as former Seiwajyuku students and current Dojo RITAH members, Gary and Takae hosted a BBQ party at Second Nature Farm to celebrate Mr. Kyotani’s recovery. While we showed him around the farm, he encouraged us to make the farm profitable and pass it on to the next generation as a place to promote healthy eating habits, protect the natural environment, and help people regenerate both body, soul, and spirit.
Other members also reported on their recent activities. Mr. Kyotani gave sincere advice to each member as they shared the challenges they are currently facing, and all of us received a great deal of courage. Thank you very much, Ms. Kyotani. We all hope you will continue to work with great spirits!
(*NOTE: Seiwajyuku is a business group studying and implementing the life and management philosophy of the late Dr. Kazuo Inamori, who founded Kyocera and DDI (present KDDI) and made them Fortune 500 company and reconstructed many bankrupt enterprises such as Japan Airlines. Seiwajyuku was dissolved in 2019, but the successor groups have continued the activities worldwide. Second Nature Farm’s concept took in the Inamori philosophy “Respect the Universe, Love People.”)
