He is a devoted husband and likes to cook. He holdspositively seasonal traditional events, often purveys dishes to students.He knows not only macromoleclar science but also habitat such as temporary dwelling.He teaches politely, if not about research.

Research Content

We develop new material in imitation of creature and study a fundamental knowledge of natural polymers. For example, study on Yukisarashi, a photobleaching technique of Japanese paper In Oguni area in Nagaoka, mulberry barks are put on snow on a fine day the yellow barks tums white during only a few hours. This technique dose not use any chemicals and is enviromentally friendly. We study the photobleaching process in detail and apply the technique to bleaching cotton fabric.

A Day in the Lab

Core time is usually from AM 10:00 to PM 5:00. Core time is set up basically, but we relatively study at liberty. Research seminar is held every Tuesday, students give a presentation of progress of each study and introduce research papers by tums. Master's students attend a scientific meeting at least once for a period of two years. Research theme is eachindependent so you can adjust your study to research theme and your lifestyle. This lab has a peaceful and happy atmosphere. We keep in mind to be important to clearly separate work and private life.
