Michiaki Tanaka deceased

Post by ken123 »

It is with great personal sadness that I am announcing that Michiaki Tanaka of Tanaka Toishi Kougyousho, who I represent as his international distributor, passed away on Tuesday, 10/23/18 at 8:39 PM, Japan time . He passed away as a result of subarachnoid hemorrhage of sudden onset..The funeral service were held on 10/28 Sunday at 10 am in Kyoto City.. In addition to my professional relationship, I also mourn his passing as my mentor. He was a leading member of the Kyoto Natural Sharpening Stone Union, Kyoto Sharpening Stone Sales Union and Kyoto Blade Union.. Flower arrangement provided by Kenneth Schwartz of Precise Sharpening.

Read about it last week from Maxim.
