This very kind donation includes an extensive pin collection, books, early magazines, a selection of Butterfly bats, and personal items, such as photos, and even the heavy Nikon camera which always accompanied Hikosuke wherever he traveled.

A special exhibit will be designed to honor Hikosuke Tamasu for his dedicated support of Table Tennis for over 50 years. His legend will live on …

Grateful thanks to Kimihiko Tamasu for this generous and thoughtful donation.
