Thank you for visiting my portfolio web site, Hiro's Bigaku. This web site shows what I have learned in the Industrial Design program of the Faculty of Environmental Design (EVDS), University of Calgary, Canada, and also shows what I can do now to make the world a little bit better place to live.

Thank you for your support - Fourteen months since the Earthquake and Tsunami
It has been fourteen months since the earthquake and tsunami hit Eastern Japan on March 11, 2011. Thousands of victims have moved to temporary dwellings provided by the local governments. Since their evacuation to shelters, they have shown the spirit of helping one another and encouraged other people. We will never forget their spirit, and we will never forget the support from all over the world.
