　This time Mr. Takemoto Tadao who is a literary critic and lecturer active by bridging between Japan and France, and Shigyo Sosyu who is an author・business person and our president, is scheduled to hold a dialogue titled “Whither is [Beautiful Star]? —― Renaissance of Spirituality Culture of the World and Japan” on Oct.29, 2022 (Sat.) 14:00 ~ 17:00, at RINRI Institute of Ethics. Once this dialogue was scheduled to be held on Jul.23, however it was postponed due to Mr. Takemoto Tadao’s bone fracture and hospitalization. Now that he has made a full recovery, the date and time for the dialogue has been determined.

　The encounter with Mr. Takemoto Tadao and Shigyo Sosyu goes back to “Yugoku-ki 50 syunen (The 50th Patriot Death Anniversary)” held on Nov.25, where Mr. Takemoto served as the master of religious rites and Shigyo Sosyu participated in the ceremony. As Shigyo has been an enthusiastic reader of the books such as [Nostradamus Code], [Malraux to no Taiwa (Dialogue with Malraux)] (written by Takemoto Tadao), and by taking the chance of this encounter, he has established a profound friendship with Mr. Takemoto. And in March, 2022, they jointly held “Tatakau Bokura Sho-kokumin (We the Fighting Humble Ordinary Citizen)” the Service for the Repose of the Departed Soul at Yasukuni Shrine. Subsequently, in April, 2022, he also participated and cooperate with Lecture Meeting Celebrating the Publication of [Michi yori no Bara (Rose from the Unknow)].

　Mr. Takemoto became 90 years old this year. And celebrating his 90th birthday, on the theme of Renaissance of Spirituality Culture, he wishes to convey his message to the world and Japan, and the dialogue with Shigyo Sosyu has been planned and realized. At RINRI Institute, a memorable dialogue “Whither is [Beautiful Star]? —― Renaissance of Spirituality Culture of the World and Japan” will be held. Priority will be given to those who have applied as of Jul. 23 and are chosen to participate in the site. If there is a cancellation frame, we will announce for additional application on our website.
