Dear All,
It is with sadness that I note the death of Kenji Ekuan in today’s New York Times.

He was a lovely person who leaves a legacy of lovely artefacts and projects. There are over 300,000,000 bottles of Kikkoman soy sauce in the world today. He designed them. I am happy to say that I use one several times a week.
Yours,
Ken
