Makino who has enjoyed a good part of his life in rural India said with aplomb that he has gained a good knowledge of the food habit, culture, life-style and tradition of Manipur during his decade long stay.
"Several Manipuri food items including Hawaichar (made of fermented soyabean) arid Ushoi (bamboo shoot) are eaten plenty in Japan.
The traditional Manipuri huts and fencings also bear resemblance with those of Japanese, he said.
Makino, who has been teaching Japanese language in Manipur University's Centre for Development Studies since 1990 suddenly became nostalgic and said, "I always remember my native Japan on seeing the mountain ranges, rivers, landscapes, the people and their tradition here.
So I take Manipur as the second Japan".
Landed first in Maharashtra in 1958, Makino has been enjoying the Gandhian way of life and the life-style of rural India for most part of his life.
He said Manipuri students could grasp Japanese with ease.
More than 100 students have learned the language from him till date.
Ironically, the soft spoken thinly built man is still raked by the tragic defeat of Japanese troops in Imphal during World War II.
He remembered that around 45,000 Japanese troops died in Manipur due to lack of food, weapon and outbreak of certain epidemics.
"The Japanese played their last card.
Had they succeeded, they would have liberated Imphal".
With a heavy heart, Makino traveled to and from Imphal to Maibam Lokpa Hills at Nambol for nearly 40 days during the construction of the Japanese War Memorial there.
Till date, he has written two books one in Japanese language and the other in Hindi.
