EuroDisplay 2009, is to be held in Rome, Italy, from September 14^th-16^th 2009. At this meeting there will be a special session to celebrate the 77^th birthday of Professor Shunsuke Kobayashi. This session will be held on the 15^th of September.

In Japanese tradition, the 77^th birthday, known as kiju, and starting the “joyous year”, is of great importance and an example of ga no iwai, the rite of celebrating long life. The Japanese characters for kiju literally mean “joy” and “long life”. What more to say than: HAPPY KIJU Professor Kobayashi!
