I had the wonderful opportunity to visit SANKO CO.,LTD., located in Shiojiri, Nagano. I am deeply grateful for their ongoing support of my work, including the display of my large calligraphy piece, "Reiwa Gannen" (First Year of Reiwa), in the conference room of their newly built factory. That is currently hung up on the wall there. During my visit, I also had the pleasure of experiencing one of the highlights of the trip-lunch at "Yakata Soba", a traditional soba restaurant that I had been looking forward to. The soba was thin, delicate, and beautifully transparent, with a perfect balance of chewiness! I am truly thankful for the warm hospitality I received from the executive and all the staff.
