Here is another of our occasional columns featuring requests from readers who are hoping to reconnect with "long-lost" people in Japan.

  • Derrick Tron is hoping to connect with Chiho Nakamori. Chiho stayed with Derrick's family while in Britain on a student visa in the early 1970s, and helped to take care of his children, Adrian and Julia. He recalls that she cooked Japanese dishes and folded origami cranes for them. They stayed in touch for some time, and he knows that Chiho went on to marry and have two children of her own, but he can't recall her married name or other details.
