The Kawasaki Papers
This page contains PDF files of some rare math papers by the late Dr. Toshikazu Kawasaki.
Dr. Kawasaki sent me these papers back in 1994, after I met him for the first time in June, 1994, at the OrigamiUSA annual convention in New York City.
Most (but not all) of these papers are written in Japanese. Over the years I have had help understanding what they are saying. If anyone wants to do a careful translation, please feel free! I would be happy to also post translations, or links to translations.
Note that this is not a complete list of Kawasaki's papers. I am only posting them here because they are very hard to find and people might appreciate seeing them.
