Featured in the Tokai edition of the Mainichi Shimbun morning edition (Interviewed Sept. 3, 2025; published Oct. 21, 2025).

2025.11.4

The headlines and article are structured to make it easy for those discovering Professor Kimura for the first time to trace the footsteps of his achievements and readily grasp the unique features of the archive.

Headlines:

"A Lighthouse for New Horizons"

"Psychopathologist Who Proposed 'Clinical Philosophy'"

"Emphasizing Dialogue with Patients, Piercing to the Root of Suffering"

"6,000 Volumes of Personal Library with Remaining Marginalia: Memorial Archive Opens"

Based on interviews with those involved, the article highlights the significance of Kimura's achievements "at a time when psychiatrists who think deeply within the clinical setting are disappearing" (by Dr. Kenshin Shimizu, one of Kimura's former students and supervisor of the archive). It also notes that because Kimura passionately guided young people who gathered to study under him, "the standard of medical care in the Nagoya area was elevated" at the time (by Dr. Hiroaki Mizutani, President of the Hospital and Director of the Archive). Furthermore, it conveys that Kimura himself would be delighted that "a place has been established where my father's thought can be opened to the public" (by Mr. Gen Kimura, Kimura’s son and representative for the archive).
