It’s an honor to meet you. My name is Tokujin Matsudaira, a law professor at Kanagawa University, Japan. I specialize in constitutional law theory. In that sense I think that among the three of us, I’m the most old-fashoned scholar hanging out with the 19th-20th century things and know very little about the digital issues.

Today’s meeting reminds me one of my close colleague and my classmate, Prof. George Shishido, University of Tokyo, had joined an on-line talk with you, I guess it was held by a Japanese institution. He is known as an expert of new media and big data. I am excited to learn from you on something you may have discussed with your Japanese counterparts.
