Kilde: E-mail from Lily Nakatani ma 03-08-2020 Hi Lars,
Good to know that you are OK. Its’s great to know that Niels is communicating with you all the time. He’s a very good son.
Wow - we are really impressed with your methanol project. Good luck with it and hope it runs really smoothly for the total experimental period. It sounds revolutionary!!
Also good to know that Jens’ factory in Russia is doing well. It must be concerning to think he is there but hope everything keeps going smoothly and he comes home safely.
I am sending you the first historical biography I wrote. It’s about my great grandfather who was a samurai. I wish I knew more about his experiences as a samurai. The part that I really remember about him was my mother saying that my great grandfather hid in Aizu Wakamatsu for 2 years before returning to his hometown in Japan. I never asked her why and was puzzled for years about what she said. When David and I went with my brother, his wife, and my two sister to Japan in 2015, we visited Hokkaido. On the tour that we took for 7 days, one day was a visit to Abashiri prison. In my mind at that time was - visit a prison? - I wasn’t too keen on doing that. However, after visiting this prison, it opened my eyes and my brain sort of exploded.
The prison was built to house mostly the samurai who were captured after the emperor took back the country. Those samurai who opposed the Emperor were sought after in the late 1880’s and sent to Abashiri Prison in Hokkaido. The Russians were a danger to Japan and trying to take over Hokkaido so the government had the samurai prisoners build a road from Sapporo to the Okhotsk Sea. Most of them died from the weather and/or starvation. So… if my grandfather was captured, he would have been sent to Abashiri Prison and no one in my family would have existed!!
In Japan, only Samurai were allowed to carry a sword. My cousin still has my grandfather’s sword in her possession. Her husband had the blade polished and parts of the sword refurbished. Weapons in Japan are banned and swords have to be registered with the government. I know that my cousin never registered the sword fearing that it might be taken away. One of these days, I would really like to see it in person.
I’ve attached the Pdf file on my grandfather. It will be followed by my 2 grandfathers and then my parents.
Take care and keep up all the great work.
Love,
Lily and David

Hi Lars, This next email will include my 2 grandfathers that I never had a chance to meet. My mother’s father died at age 39 of tuberculosis. I always wondered what kind of life he would have had if he lived to old age. Both grandfathers were very forward thinking. Seijiro Shibuya is my mother’s father. Inosuke Inose was my father’s adopted father.
I was SO impressed with Hanne’s profile. I am going to use your model of ancestor tracing to create my families ancestor line. Take care, Love, Lily

HI Lars, These 2 are the final historical biographies - my mother and father. Their biographies are longer because I had much more first hand information. Take care. Lily
