Osaka University Professor Emeritus Taro EGUCHI and Associate Professor Yuichi ITOH, both of whom were involved in the design for the drop curtain in the Grand Hall at the Toyonaka Performing Arts Center, were also in attendance. The design for the drop curtain was based on "Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking," the discovery of which was the reason for the late Dr. Yoichiro Nambu's selection as a Nobel Laureate in Physics. The late Dr. Nambu was both an honorary citizen of Toyonaka city and an Osaka University Distinguished Honorary Professor. A table center cloth was given to President Nishio by Toyonaka city.
