Japan launches cosmetic line after Artemides Zatti!
TOKYO: 24th March 2007 -- There is more than one story with Salesian connections to Doctor Urushibata, famous Tokyo dermatologist, but amongst the most interesting is that his wife has just launched a new line in cosmetics, appropriately named 'Artemides Zatti'. Appropriately, you ask? Perhaps you should read the story behind the story....
Fr Angelo Yamamouchi, of the Japan province who, incidentally has four brothers all Salesian priests and was born in Argentina, received a phone call on 15th March (the day of the liturgical commemoration of Blessed Artemides Zatti). It was from Doctor Urushibata, announcing that he had just received permission from the authorities to open a clinic, and that he would be naming the clinic 'Artemides Zatti', in honour of the humble but great infirmarian-cum-medico from Argentina who had so lovingly cared for the ill in Viedma for many years. It was, in fact, Fr Angelo who had made the suggestion for the naming of the clinic. Fr Angelo, currently heading up a Salesian and local diocese pastoral project to reach out to immigrants in Hamamatsu, had baptised the entire Urushibati family four years ago when he was parish priest at Saginuma. The desire for baptism came about because the children were attending the nearby Salesian kindergarten.
It would be no surprise to know that the children, a boy and a girl, took Dominic and Laura respectively for their baptismal names!
