The 38th general meeting of the Japan Sword Dealers Association (Fiscal Year Ending March 2025) was held. I was appointed as MC. Chairman Mr. Fukami, president of Ginza Choshuya, moderated the meeting, during which the business report for the previous year and the business plan for this year were approved. The board of directors were re-elected every two years, and I was reappointed as a director. Yoshio Iida, president of Iidakoendo, was elected as the new chairman of the Japan Sword Dealers Association. The new executive team will inherit the trust and achievements that former chairman Mr. Fukami built up. I renewed my determination to play my part, however small, in the sword dealers association led by new chairman Mr. Iida.
