Another Kei Kumai obituary in Japanese

[=%iso-2022-jp?B?GyRCQ2ZAbhsoQiAbJEJAaUhBGyhC?=]

I also found an article by Jiji, which mentions Akiko too.
It says Aiko, his wife and an essayist will represent the family at the 
memorial service.

>>Dear All,

>>   I have been asked to write the obituary of Kei Kumai for the

>they always state if the deceased is survived by any family. I 
>believed that Kumai was married and had a daughter, but I don't know 
>if his wife survived him, or indeed even if his child is still 
>living, although I am assuming that that is likely. If anyone can 
>confirm Kumai's family circumstances, I'd be extremely grateful. I 
>am supposed to be submitting the piece in the next 48 hours, so a 
>quick reply would make me even more grateful!
