This weekend, we had a 3 day sales event in Ningyocho, Tokyo.
It was the 6th time since 2012. Last time, we had a lot of snow. This time however, the weather was quite warm and more people came to the event.
We had a really nice time with our friends and customers, some of which, visited twice, staying for a long time.
I was very impressed by some of the sword related conversations, and felt like I learned a lot from listening to the things mentioned by the people around me.
Sometimes, customers with whom we’ve had a long relationship will bring a snack to the event as a little treat. This time, a friend brought ‘Atsuyaki-tamago’ (a Japanese style omelet) that was so incredibly tasty, I wanted it all for myself, but was forced to share it with the others. It was one of the factors that made the event feel so much more intimate and familiar to us and the other visitors.
The next event we will host is on Okinawa at the end of June.
