Dear Insturctors,

 

Ladies and gentlemen.

 

I must first of all

congratulate all of you

for having gone successfully

through another conference.

 

The conference this time is being held

after the 100^th anniversary of the birth of the late Toru Kumon,

who is the founder

of the Kumon Method of teaching.

 

The centenary celebration was held in Yokohama, Japan

on Sunday 16^th March, 2014 as it was a convenient public holiday

and the hall at Yokohama city

could accommodate 7,000 Kumon instructors and associates

from 34 countries around the world.

The conference hall is also situated in very strategic vicinity.

 

The real birthday of Toru Kumon was 26^th March, 1914,

in Osaka in the Kochi Prefecture, Japan,

that is 100 years by 26^th March, 1014.

 

This Centenary Celebration,

held 10 days earlier,

was a great and a memorable event.

 

It was a celebration in memory of a great man.
