When Yuji Mizoguchi first visited the home of his spouse in Korea, he was very impressed by the size of a kettle in the kitchen. He was told that the family used to cook rice in it before they had electricity and this reminded him of the word �gsikku�h which means those who eat rice which was cooked in the same kettle. This theme of unity became the inspiration for Yuji�fs speech titled �gOne Kettle, One Family�h which brought him first place in the advanced level of this year�fs Korean Speech Contest. Yuzaburo �gSam�h Nagasaka was the winner at the elementary level. PHOTO: Contest winner Yuji Mizoguchi
