English Summary
**Catchphrase**
The life of Katsuichi Honda, “Chasing the unknown world”
He was active as a journalist and contributed a wide range of articles to newspapers and magazines. He serves on the editorial board of Asahi Shimbun and has published numerous books. His representative works include ``Himalayan Expedition'' and ``Hokkaido Exploration''.
Admiring the teachings of Tadao Umesao, who believed that ``it is important for those of us who come from mountainous areas to love nature,'' he established Japan's first exploration club with students from Kyoto University in 1956. In 1957, he led a Himalayan expedition and attempted to climb Shahandok, a 6,000m high mountain, but failed. However, he wrote a book about his experiences, ``The Unknown Journey to the Hindu Kush in the Himalayas,'' which received acclaim.
Joined Asahi Shimbun in 1959. Publishes serialized articles such as ``Animals of Kitaguni'' and ``Canadian Eskimos'' at the Hokkaido branch office. During this time, he also serialized reportage on ``New Guinea highlanders'' and ``Arabic nomads,'' which received a great response. Honda wanted to cover the Vietnam War, but due to the popularity of the series, he serialized ``Arabian Nomads'' in 1965.
In 1967, he spent a month reporting on the ground in South Vietnam and published an article as a report in the Asahi Shimbun. The following year, he also covered North Vietnam. His series of reports were highly praised and won the 11th JCJ Award and the 22nd Mainichi Publishing Culture Award.
