Autum and Winter Show @ Osaka and Tokyo ,and @ IFF

Hi,Guy's

The rainy season is finally over! It’s Summer Time!!!
But it’s hot! The suns shining and the temperature keep rising, but I’m still living and loving it!

During Summer, there are lots of festivals, fire works, and concerts outside.

One of the most biggest and popular festivals in Kansai is held in Kyoto. The festival is called “Gion Masturi.” Kyoto is famous for their traditional temples, tea ceremony, geisha, maiko, etc.





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gion_Matsuri
On the day of the festival most Japanese people wear “Yukata” a Japanese garment, which is a casual summer kimono usually made of cotton.




Since it is difficult to put on and usually need someone’s help, we only put it on for special occasions.

If you ever have the chance to visit Japan, I recommend during the summer time. You will really enjoy it here!

Onto some other news, last week we held a show for the Autumn and Winter line at the Osaka office showroom.



This week we have the same show at our Tokyo office and have a booth at the IFF show so we are very busy this week!

I want to GUAM!

Hi,Guy'S?

HOw's going on?

Last month I went to Guam as an incentive vacation provided by the company!

Our company has 2 offices, Osaka and Tokyo. If we don`t have these business trips or outings, it`s very rare chance to meet the other staff members.

Fortunately, our company sets up these outings every half year and an incentive outings every full year. That`s why this time we had at Guam was very precious for all our staff members!

And since we are establishing an office in California, in the near future, they will come with us!


We arrived at 4:00 a.m. in Guam and was tired! Could not wait to get to the hotel and sleep for a bit before starting my mini-vacation.
That night we all had dinner together while viewing a beautiful sunset that dropped into the sea.



The next day we had a game of dodge ball on the beach. It was really hot and humid but we were all excited and having so much fun! And the ocean was so clear and beautiful. You can see your feet in the water!



Eventually it was time for the soccer game to come on. World Cup action..Japan vs Netherlands!!
We all gathered and watched the game together. It was tooo exciting! I couldn't hold myself together.
Unfortunately, scoring a goal against Netherlands was hard for Japan and we lost! Sad but was a good game.

Guam is near Japan, about a 3 hour flight. It`s a great place for Japanese people to get away, relax, and go shopping!


We stayed in Guam for three days and two nights. My flight to go back home was at 4:00 a.m. The exact same time we arrived in Guam^^


It was really fun!!!

Hi Guy`s!
How are you?

I promised in the last blog that I will tell you about Guangzhou area. Here we go!

Guangzhou is near Hong Kong, just south of China.
It was very hot and humid..very!
The hotness was overwhelming! It felt like I was walking in a big sauna!
Toooo Hoooooot!

Check out this picture below! This shows that even people that are living here can`t take the heat!




Guangzhou is the third largest city in China and the capital of Guangdong Province and key transportation hub and trading port which is located on the Pearl River which leads to the South China Sea. The 2000 census said that Guangzhou is the most populous city in the province and the third most populous metropolitan area in China.

When I was walking around, everywhere was packed with people. China has allot of people already, but to be walking in the most populated province..you can imagine how many people there is.

I had the chance to see the Guangzhou International Finance Center. It was amazing and very very tall! The highest skyscraper in Guangzhou!


I also got the chance to see the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees. Even though it has been rebuilt, it looks beautiful!




Then Pearl River, the third largest river in China and the largest in Guangzhou. Its called Pearl River because it contains a stone island that resembles a huge pearl and it is always polished by the constantly-flowing water of the river. Beautiful!



It was my first time to visit China and I had a great experience. Doing business with someone from a different culture shows how much people really need to expand their horizon. There is a big world out there and this visit really widen my view about allot of things in life!

Finally my motivation for making the best items has been heightened by 110%!!!!
