I will briefly introduce my hobbies.

On my days off, I often go out to the Asakusa and Ginza areas (movies, rakugo, kabuki, etc.). I sometimes cycle around Shinjuku Kinokuniya → Ikebukuro Junkudo → Yaesu Book Center → Marunouchi Maruzen → Jinbocho Sanseido and then come back (3 hour course).

My favorite books may be slightly biased. I think Oliver Sacks' book is a must-read for anyone who deals with brain diseases. Dawkins' Selfish Gene and Frank Ryan's Destroying Creator made us rethink what life is all about. Jared Diamond's guns, pathogens, and iron have the power to change society with infectious diseases, Noval Yua Harari's complete history of sapiens, Homodeus, learning what kind of creatures humans are and presenting a picture of the world. In novels, Kobo Abe, Ranpo Edogawa, Arthur C. Clarke, Stanislaw Lem, and Shinichi Hoshi in high school; Carl Sagan, Dostoevsky, Soseki Natsume, Shakespeare, Eiji Yoshikawa, and Goethe in college; Ryotaro Shiba, Naoki Momota, Kurt Vonnegut, Jiro Asada, Kiyoshi Shigematsu, Shuichi Yoshida, and Mitsuki Tsujimura continue my book journey with twists and turns.

As for music, I have all albums of Neil Young and Motoharu Sano. I also love Carole King, which was popular in junior high school. I admire Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, and Mal Waldron for jazz, and Schubert, Brahms, Beethoven, and Johann Sebastian Bach for classical.

My current best movie is Charles Chaplin's "City Lights", followed by Barbra Streisand's "Yentl". Recently, I was moved by the Japanese animation "Your name." I think the world of Christopher Nolan (Memento, Batman Trilogy, Inception, Interstella, Tenet) and Damien Chazelle (Sessions, La La Land, First Man) are also interesting. I've loved Clint Eastwood's works for a long time and have seen all of them, but as a fan I'm worried about how long I'll be able to see the director's works because he is old.

I also like traveling. In Japan, I traveled to every prefecture from Hokkaido to Okinawa. For overseas travel, the United States (Guam, Saipan, Hawaii, California, San Francisco, Chicago, Springfield), France (Paris, Giverneux, Mont Saint-Michel), Italy (Milan, Florence, Rome), Germany (Munich, Cologne, Neuschwanstein), England (London, Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon) ), China (Hong Kong), and Korea (Seoul).

I have passed the the Kangi character proficiensy test Pre-1st grade. I gained confidence in passing the pre-first grade on the first attempt, and then took the first grade Kangi character proficiensy test, but the result was disappointing.
I plan to take the first grade test again after memorizing the kanji hard.

Lately, it's only when I feel like it, but in the past, I used to play hard on the classical guitar. My favorite guitar song is Memories of the Alhambra.

When I have a lot of time, I also draw botanical drawings. Finished in 5-6 hours using acrylic paint.

Nakaguchi's CG illustration collection: I've been using CG for a long time to create surgery schemas and illustrations for papers. Here are some of my CG illustrations.⇒Samples of my CG illustrations

When I was in elementary school, I had canaries and jushimatsu (society finchs) at home, and when I was in the 5th and 6th grades of elementary school, I became one of bird keepers of the school and took care of birds in a chicken coop. I still love birds and I often spend my weekends with my wife taking pictures in nearby parks. My camera history started with a single-lens reflex APSC (PENTAX Z-5P → PENTAX istDS → PENTAX K-70), and now I use a mirrorless APSC FUJIFILM X-H2S with a super-telephoto lens XF150-600mmF5.6 R LM OIS attached. My favorite birds are redstarts and goshawks.

It seems that I like to straddle something and enjoy the wind. I used to be crazy about horseback riding, but I couldn't make it to the horse riding club, so after that I got hooked on a large motorcycle (Honda CB1300SF, a 260kg motorcycle) (I've been riding bikes for 30 years). Due to my work, I had to give up on a large bike, and now I am satisfied with riding a cross bike (NEST UNIFY) to cut through the wind.
