Japanese Beginnings
A prophetic meeting several years earlier, however, would bring Mr. Tamura to his next career. A diamond dealer, Mr. Yasuhito Shigetomi, had visited Mr. Tamura to interest him in buying a diamond.
Mr. Shigetomi was known for his beautifully cut stones. He introduced Mr. Tamura to the more scientific aspects of diamond cutting, explaining Tolkowsky and the concept of Ideal proportions.
When Mr. Tamura asked the gentleman what type of instrument, or scope, he used to demonstrate Tolkowsky's theories of light entering and exiting the crown of the diamond, Mr. Shigetomi was dumbfounded. He had never been asked such a question.
