Taki Kato, a pioneer in coordinating overseas artists, will appear with her husband, architect and product designer Masayuki Kurokawa, on Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi), which will be broadcast at 1:00 pm on August 8th. This will be Taki's eighth appearance on the show, but her first appearance as a married couple. The couple, who have been married for 44 years, will engage in some amusing push-and-pull talk.
Taki celebrated her 80th birthday this year, and Kurokawa celebrated her 88th birthday this year. Her husband is the younger brother of the architect Kisho Kurokawa, and they grew up in a family of architects. They travel to China once a month to work on architectural projects, design, and give lectures.
No matter how old they are, they each find new jobs and hobbies and enjoy themselves with new friends - this was also the way of life of Taki's mother, Shizue Kato, who lived to the age of 104. She says the secret to their long-lasting friendship is "separate rooms for husband and wife." What is the "Window of Presence" that Kurokawa invented to prevent them from feeling lonely even when they are apart?
