	This is English USA, on the Voice of America. Now, Lesson 98, Part 2.

	MARTIN:	Ishikawa, are you an American?
	ISHIKAWA:	Oh, yes. I was born in San Francisco. My father was Japanese. Ishikawa is our family name. I didn't like my other name, so I just use Ishikawa for my work.
	MARTIN:	May I ask what your other name is?
	ISHIKAWA:	No, I don't like it.
	MARTIN:	I'm interested in names.
	ISHIKAWA:	Martin is a nice name.
	MARTIN:	Do you like it?
	ISHIKAWA:	Yes. Your name sounds good. Martin Learner. Mine wasn't a good name. Do you like what I've done with the building?
	MARTIN:	I like it very much.
	ISHIKAWA:	Do you remember it?
	MARTIN:	Yes, it was just an ugly brown building. Why did you paint this side green?
	ISHIKAWA:	It faces the park. Do you like that idea? It brings the color of the park into the street.
	MARTIN:	I think that's a great idea. The street needs more color. Is that the way you decide on color in your paintings?
	ISHIKAWA:	Sometimes I like the colors to go together, to be similar. But sometimes I like them to stand out, to be different.
	MARTIN:	Can you give me an example?
	ISHIKAWA:	I painted a mural in Smithville. Do you know that neighborhood?
	MARTIN:	Yes, I do. On the northwest side of the city.
	ISHIKAWA:	Yes. It's all white. Everything is white. The houses. The shops. The hospital. Everything. I painted a mural on the hospital. I painted the side of the building red. Then I painted the mural on that.
	MARTIN:	It sounds beautiful.
	ISHIKAWA:	Do you think so? I thought it was very good.
	MARTIN:	Do you paint a small picture before you start a mural?
	ISHIKAWA:	Usually I draw a picture. I don't paint it.
	MARTIN:	How do you know about colors then?
	ISHIKAWA:	I do examples. I see the colors in my mind. I try the colors. But I don't paint a picture.
	MARTIN:	Why not?
	ISHIKAWA:	Why should I? It's in my mind. My drawing is enough. Would you like to see the drawing for this mural?
	MARTIN:	That would be very interesting.
	ISHIKAWA:	How do you like it?
	MARTIN:	That's wonderful.
	ISHIKAWA:	Thanks.
	MARTIN:	You've written all over it too. Is that Japanese writing?
	ISHIKAWA:	Yes.
	MARTIN:	What does it say?
	ISHIKAWA:	Those are the colors.
	MARTIN:	I see. Each area is marked with a color. Why do you write it in Japanese?
	ISHIKAWA:	If I lose the paper, most people can't read it. I don't want people to know my ideas. What do you think about it?
	MARTIN:	I think you're right. Most Americans can't read Japanese.
