| Asada | |||
| Noriko's father and Mr. Asada were both interns at the Japanese embassy in Beijing, occupied China, during WW II. In 1951 when Koichi was born, Nishizawas and Asadas shared a house in Komazawa, Tokyo. At that time the vicinity was a wheatfield. The Asada's remained the Nishizawa's closest friend ever since. Of the two couples only Mrs. Asada survives. Noriko has kept faithfully in touch. | |||
