ようこそ



Hello. Welcome to website of Hironori Takahashi.

My Work

 I study about games, mainly traditional games. Japan has some famous game like Shogi,Go,mahjongg and so on. But there are many traditional games in Japan. But almost people doesn't know about them even Japanese. I think games are also one of the human activity. Studying games is importanto thing to understand them.
