March 13 (Friday) to March 15, we held the 8th Sendai Sword Exhibition and Sale at Yumemesse Miyagi. With each event, the number of familiar customers continues to grow, and many visitors remembered us, which led to many enjoyable conversations.

Although the number of Sendai local swords on display was smaller than usual this time, many sword enthusiasts were able to find pieces they liked and we were pleased to see several of them purchased.

The event remained lively throughout and became a very fulfilling sword exhibition. However, unfortunately, some of our staff, including myself, suffered from food poisoning, and we struggled with poor health during the latter half of the event. I regret that there may have been moments when we were not able to provide the level of service we would have liked.

Going forward, we will pay closer attention to maintaining our health so that we can welcome everyone in the best possible condition.
