          The name 'October' is derived from the 
            fact that Ueda was born in October and also the fact that I loved 
            American critical magazine 'October' arguing on film, painting, music, 
            photography, performance, sculpture, literature and architecture. 
            The name of the magazine 'October' is derived from October Revolution 
            on the one hand, the name of our office is not, on the other.  |
