Sekinan Library was founded at Tachikawa, Tokyo in 1 April 1986.
Till March of that year I was a student of the post graduate course
for cultural sciences and also worked at a night course of a high
school for keeping daily life.
At university I studied the history of Buddhism of ancient Japan
mainly reading old Japanised Chinese writings while learning the
history of European linguistics typically represented by The
Linguistic Circle of Prague in 1920s.
Buddhism was taught from Prof. KAWASAKI Tsuneyuki and
linguistics was from Prof. CHINO Eiichi. In those days I had been
concerned with the presentation of historical text by Chinese
characters which was not any inflections in sentence, so usually
called isolated language, which grammar only being controlled by
word order.
I wondered that what is word order, how the grammar changes
in the non-inflation words. All were in the utterly dark world because
European linguistics had not made up the developed isolated language
like classical Chinese. But in China especially in the era of Qing
dynasty, many linguists had studied Chinese classics using vast
methods historically formed since circa 500 B.C.
At March 1986, I determined that study theme was limited in the
linguistic study of ideogram like Chinese character, for the study of
which a new perspective would be appeared from our Oriental
region still now using ideogram like China and Japan. From April
I started my study while teaching modern and classical Chinese at
Sekinan Library. At night frequently being called as the lecturer of
Buddhism and Chinese of civic education. At that time the most
interesting theme of the study was ancient Chinese characters
inscribed on oracle bones and tortoise shells, which already showed
the perfect system of ideogram and had been studied
in the Qing dynasty's linguists, in which I was deeply fascinated by
WANG Guowei's work Quantangjilin.
Over decade after, in Spring 2003, I wrote a manuscript for my
study, titled "Manuscript for Quantum Theory for Language".
Continuing
this work, I could first written a paper on diagram focused on
inherent time in Chinese characters. The title was " On Time
Property Inherent in Characters" and its direct succession,
"Quantum Theory for Language " which was presented at a
conference opened at Nara in December 2003.
