(To Mr. Kobayashi) You have a spice factory? Do you export or import?
Mr. Kobayashi: We do both.Sri Chinmoy: Where do you import from?
Mr. Kobayashi: Since the climate of Japan is not warm enough to grow them, we import the raw materials for curry from Southeast Asia — especially peppers. We import the raw goods and then ship the finished product to foreign countries.
Sri Chinmoy: Which are the foreign countries?
Mr. Kobayashi: Europe and America. Hawaii in particular has many Japanese descendents. We also ship the finished product back to the Southeast Asian countries.
Sri Chinmoy, Japan, my life bows to your heart, Agni Press, 1984
