円卓で 微笑む顔が 目に浮かぶ

　現役時代に、この円卓を囲み、知人・友人・職場の同僚と親しく話したり、飲んだりした思い出が蘇ります。この円卓の良さは心が一つになり、座った人すべてが一つの話題に集中できます。

　つまり、席順など決めず、上座も下座もなく、年齢に関係せず、子供が入っても平等です。円卓の特質は、ここに座る人すべてが自由に意見や感想を出し合える雰囲気を持ってます。

　しかも、椅子を増やせば最高8人は楽に座れ、この上下感がない雰囲気が発想を豊かにし、すべての人の顔の表情が見え、人間らしい生き方に繋がると共に、絆が増す基盤です。そういえば、国連総会の会議場も大きく円を描いてます。再度、ここで一杯飲み、楽しく語りたいものです。

Dear my overseas and Japanese friends

　During my working days, it brings back memories of sitting around this round table, chatting and drinking with acquaintances, friends, and colleagues. The advantage about this round table is that it brings people together and allows everyone to focus on one topic.

　In other words, there is no set order of seats, there is no Kamiza that means head seat or Shimoza that means lower seat, regardless of age, even children are welcome. A characteristic of the round table is that it creates an atmosphere in which everyone sitting here can freely share their opinions and impressions.

　What's more, if I increase the number of chairs, up to eight people can sit comfortably, and this atmosphere without ups and downs enriches your ideas and allows you to see the expressions of everyone's faces, leading to a humane way of life and a foundation that strengthens their emotional bonds. Come to think of it, the conference hall of the United Nations General Assembly also draws a large circle. If you want to have a drink and have fun chatting here are welcome.
