60321    If one digs around and bares the roots of Ichiyo's prose, it is rich in substance.

60322    I was attracted to Ichiyo's writing and have been devoted to conveying its beauty through my recitations.

60323    I am deeply moved that my little work has been chosen for this authoritative award.

60324    The 36th Mainichi Art Award, as seen in the full-page announcement, will be awarded to four people and an individual/group.

60325    The awards ceremony will begin at three o'clock, January 13th, at the Tokyo Hitotsubashi Josui Kaikan.

60326    The Mainichi Newspaper selection committee chose the winners after receiving a wide range of nominations from each field of the arts and vetting them through our advisors.

60327    We have put together a special feature, including introductions of the recipients' work by members of our advisory and nominating committees, their curriculum vitae, and congratulatory messages.

60328    Times Square, echoing with construction noise, is covered in snow.

60329    This is Richmond Hill, one of a cluster of satellite cities in north Toronto, Canada, that make up the greater Toronto area.

60330    At the end of last year, the population stood at 87,000 people, but with the highest population growth rate in the country, it has now surpassed 100,000.

60331    Times Square, located along the main avenue in town, Highway 7, is a community-oriented shopping center whose tenants are all "Hong Kong merchants".

60332    Yet another 'mini' Hong Kong is attempting to be born.

60333    With the 1997 reversion of Hong Kong to China on the visible horizon and troubled by the Tianamen Square Massacre, the peak year of Hong Kong emigrants heading for Canada was 1992.

60334    According to government statistics, there are 15,000 Hong Kong immigrants in Toronto alone, far more than from any other immigrant population.

60335    Although the years '93 and '94 saw a slight reduction in total numbers, the same immigration trend has continued.
