(The following is the English translation of the e-mail sent to our Japanese customers.)

This is Kanako Yoshida from YOUYOUANG.
I hope you have been well.

Recently, a powerful earthquake struck Kumamoto.
Although we did not feel the tremors here in Gunma, far away from the affected area, learning about the damage has left us deeply concerned.

In the face of the overwhelming power of nature, we are reminded of how small and fragile we truly are. Perhaps that is why we should be grateful for each ordinary day we are able to spend in peace.

And yet, this summer has certainly brought its share of intense heat.
Please take good care of yourselves and stay cool in whatever ways you can.

This month, we would like to share a little late-summer greeting with you, along with an announcement about an upcoming trade show we will be exhibiting at.

As the heat intensifies, fewer flowers are able to thrive.
But in our garden, the gaura, a flower native to North America, continues to bloom beautifully and energetically.

The honeybees have been busy buzzing around the flowers since early morning.

The rice fields near my home are also lush and green, with the rice plants growing steadily.
We hope they will produce another wonderful harvest this year.

Gift Show in September

The Gift Show will be held next month, from September 2 to 4.

Once again, due to ongoing construction work at Tokyo Big Sight, we will be exhibiting in the West Hall.

We have many new products this time, and we are especially excited to share them with you. There are many pieces that we hope you will have a chance to see and hold in person.

Our booth number is: West 2 – T – 34 – 01

The late-summer heat can still be quite intense, so please take care on your way from the station and travel safely to Gift Shaw.

We look forward to seeing you at the Gift Show.
