Leonid Kreutzer, a master pianist and teacher at the Berlin Academy of Music hounded by the Nazis and seeking a safe place for his music, wandered the world his arrival in Japan in February through the intercession of his Japanese pupils. Since then he has given 17 concerts across the country but will once again resume his wandering as his three months have passed. He will travel to the US on the 28th aboard the Tatsuta Maru from Yokohama, causing sadness for all those who adore him.
