Miscellaneous

• ISHII (石井) is a popular surname in Japan. Shun is also common, but the corresponding kanji (竣) is rarely used for names. The only example I know of this character being used in everyday language is the word 竣工 (or 竣成), which means completion of construction.

• Other than mathematics, I enjoy reading books, keeping a diary, hiking in mountains and taking pictures. I introduce some of my favorite books at this page. You can also find some photos I took here (Warning! the page won’t open since the photo files are too large).

• Mathematicians (without honorifics) :

  • Naganori Yamaguchi
  • Yota Maeda
  • Séverin Philip
  • Densuke Shiraishi
