Hobbies

There are several things that I enjoy doing besides my professional activity, and the most important of them are presented next:

• I am interested in various forms of art, such as music and visual arts. I mainly play shakuhachi as a member of the Tozan School, and I have obtained the assistant-instructor license (JUN-SHIHAN) in September 2011. Some of my music interpretations are available on the artwork page. I also paint or draw occasionally.
• I enjoy doing photography, perhaps as another form of art. You can have a look at some recent photos if you want.
• I also do various sports from time to time, such as swimming, hiking or even playing football (i.e., soccer :-).

Those interested in my hobbies, such as shakuhachi music and artwork, should have a look at my personal web site.

I also made a non-exhaustive list of my "accomplishments" in Japan. Many impressions are related to my first couple of years in Japan, so don't expect very frequent updates nowadays.
