Since I travelled around India as a backpacker during my college days, my main interests have been on the postal history and the traditional philately of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. I am particularly thrilled with the richness of the region in postal histories. Not only the classic periods of modern postal system, but also quite recent periods are exciting in the case of South Asia, such as the effects of the Partition (1947) and the independence of Bangladesh (1971). I have been a member of India Study Circle for Philately since 1996 and have just joined Pakistan Study Circle this year.

In addition to my main collection, I am also collecting topicals, including basketball, flowers, and agriculture.

In this homepage, some of my collections are shown. Most of them are translated from my articles published in newsletters and journals in Japanese language. Hope you like the page and I am looking forward to your comments. You can reach me at:
