Hello?

Hello.

Am I speaking with Professor Kitagawa?

Yes, I'm speaking.

Hello.

Congratulations on the award of the Nobel Prize.

Oh, thank you very much.

One of the things that is special about your work perhaps, is that now everybody talks about the application of metal-organic frameworks.

Many people in the nineties were not convinced that this was a system that could work, but you continued to work on it.

Right, and because anytime I tried to do something with big challenge mind, so if this is impossible, if several people said, this is impossible and this cannot be realised, I have a very big motivation.
