Thank you very much, if you have other items from him, I'd be interested in.
I've been trying to find some of mr. Tomokawa's records with no sucessful results, and here in your blog found various post introducing his works but can't find the links. Your posts has been blocked or something following a legal claim? Could you repost some records of mr. Tomokawa? Greetings.
