I invite you on a voyage around the world
This is Captain Taki Hikaru.
Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you on a voyage around the world by means of drawings and paintings of mine.
We go through Japan and from the East China Sea our ship will set course for the West.
Passing the Suez Canal, we will go around Europe and we will cross the Atlantic Ocean.
After that we will go around the North American continent and passing the Panama Canal,
we will cross the Pacific Ocean and will come back to Japan.
We will travel around 54 places, based on my experiences and knowledge all over the world;
so I am very happy that if any of them were shared by people living with each other in this era.
And next time I hope that you will invite us to pilot in order to see the new world to come.

Let's start a first step to world journey from the place of Japan that is the most important connection of me.
Africa
Africa is the origin point of Human Beings and we have ancient Egyptian culture. For animals it is the Garden of Eden, from the Christian Bible.
Europe
Recently, over a hundred of years we Japanese, including me, are brought up by the Modern Culture of Western Europe.
North America
Honda started its first step in oversea business in the United States and, its market success there raised up Honda widely. For me also the United States is the deepest influencing country in the world
In Gratitude
