"Most of my regular customers call me somewhere and I sit next to them in silence. I don't have to do anything, I just have to sit next to them and sometimes I have to listen to their heart. I do not reveal the identity of any of my clients and I do not share his views with anyone unless he gives permission, "said Shoji, describing the nature and details of his work.
