At the same time, the culture that the Japanese have is something that we really need to preserve and to continue. And I think it’s interesting because a lot of the Japanese Americans – I think they see Japan from the outside at one point and come here and think, “Wow, this is wonderful.” You can see it…well, you’re looking at it like a foreigner but then you feel some connection because you’re…you know you’re Japanese, too. So, like, when you go to Kyoto, you’re like, “Oh, this is Japan.” You see the rock gardens, the serenity in the parks, and then you go to a quiet tea ceremony or you see the geisha or the kimonos walking by. I mean that’s really nice. That’s something you don’t want to be lost.

So how do you…it’s a hard call, you know. Modernization or…we don’t want to live in the past, but I’m trying to get a nice balance between the two. I mean I do kimono, we do ocha, we do tea ceremony, and ikebana – the flower arrangement…but at the same time, where we live is more American style. You have your couch, you have your living room.
