On April 6th (Friday), the first dinner reception for the 2018 fellowship recipients was held at the Hibiya Matsumotoro restaurant in Gakushuin University. In addition to the Director (Mrs. Atsumi), Ms. Imanishi, and other staff, some of our Raccoons took the time to join us in spite of their busy schedules: Joen (2001), Mira (2004), Olga (2004), Abdein (2014) and Bikash (2016).

A gathering of different nationalities, different research topics and different backgrounds 窶 it looks like this will also be a lively year!

Welcome to the Atsumi Foundation! We look forward to working with all of you!
