(The following is translation of the e-mail which was sent to Japanese customers.)
This is Kanako Yoshida from YOUYOUANG.
How are you doing?
It's raining lightly in Maebashi today, probably due to the influence of an autumn rain front. It's a pleasant afternoon, free from the usual body-temperature heat.
Time flies in August, with the shipment of incense before Obon, summer vacation, photography for a new catalog and subsequent review of its composition. Before I knew it, we were at the beginning of autumn.
And... the new catalog is ready!
We will bring the new catalog to the exhibition, but we can also send it to you by mail, so please let us know by email. This time, we put a lot of effort into the photography. I would be happy if you all could take a look.
Along with the renewal of the catalog, we have renewed a product that has been on our mind for some time. It is "Special Selection Incense for Healing". We are proud of the freshness of the scent of this incense, so the scent has not been changed. We have renewed the package to create a "fresh image" that brings out the freshness of the scent.
We have used a slightly shiny paper material and a bit of gold in some places in the color scheme, which we think gives it a “fresh yet special feel.”
For those who are not familiar with the previous product, here it is for comparison.
Compared like this, the previous one seems to have a rather flashy and aggressive design. It stood out on the sales floor, but I reflected that it might not convey the freshness of the scent inside.
If you prefer a flashy design, please specify, and we can ship it in the old package as long as we have boxes in stock.
The exhibition is in two weeks. This year, it will be held for three days on September 4th, 5th, and 6th at Big Sight, East Hall 5, Fragrance Fair, T42-09. We have about 10 invitations left, so please contact us if you need one.
These days, we can feel the faint hint of autumn in the mornings and evenings. This is also an unstable time of year. Please be careful of sudden rain.
