The builder of the Website is "Naoto Murai". He has been aiming at being free lance.
Now, he is going to continue to write English original scripts as a high
school teacher
for junior and senior high
students.
By the way, let him explain about
"Edmond". Although he has been using "Naoto
Murai"
as an author's name,he is going to add two more writing
activities by giving
him two more names. One is an activity of
writing criticisms on current affairs in
English, and the other is a translation activity. In his translation activity, he invented
a pen name, which is "Edo Mondo".（江戸 主人） In addition, most of Naoto Murai'
works are written in English, so he invented a Western name,
"Edmond". This is a pun
on the Japanese name "Edo Mondo" and the
Western name"Edmond". Even
though his English
writing instructor is Ms. Rebecca Beards, he was allowed to use
her family name. In addition, you can easily understand why he
is called"Beard" when
you have a look at the below
picture. Next, N is the initial of "Naoto", of course.
That is why
he was named "Edmond N. Beard".
As he said in the above
paragraph, his future dream is to publish his books. If
anyone wants to publish Edmond's books, please contact him through the Website.
In particular, he would like to publish his English drama scripts for English classes
and English club activities in Japanese high schools.
Finally, to get Edmond's total ideas in order, the
author's name for English scripts
is "Naoto Murai", the pen
name for a translation activity is "Edo Mondo", and the
name for
writing criticisms in English is "Edmond N. Beard". His purpose
is to be a
trinity writer having three names with three
"personae", which are "Naoto Murai",
"Edo Mondo" and "Edmond N. Beard". He hopes that the visitors of the Website
will
encourage him. Thank you very much.
