Postscript




  I was twenty-three years old when I came back to the
Oki Islands.Fifteen years have passed since then.
At first did not realize the splendidness of obsidian
in the sense of geology and its history. It may be
because of its magical power that I have known many
people who teach me the enchanting power of obsidian.
Obsidian, precious shining stones since the primitive
age, never cease to give out its energy and send
us some message. 

 There must have been many kinds of interaction
among people who gave it as a gift or sought it use
as stoneweapons, the most effective all over the world
in those days. Obsidian has been cherished over
several tens of thousands of years. It is filled with
romance and I also would like to cherish it for ever.

 I appreciate your infomation about
  * new sites of obsidian
  * obsidian implements found your neighborhood
  * exchange of obsidian between its homes, ets.


 I hope to exchange information about historical and
cultural aspects of obsidian all over the world through
my homepage on the Internet. I am looking forward
to your cooperation.
