The 5th Mito Token Ichi was held for two days from Friday, July 10, at the Mito Civic Hall. Located in the center of Mito City, the Mito Civic Hall is a popular cultural and artistic venue that attracts many visitors throughout the year. The fair welcomed many guests over the two days, including local Japanese sword enthusiasts as well as beginners who were interested in taking up Japanese sword appreciation as a new hobby. As the event has become more established, the number of familiar customers returning to the fair has continued to grow. This time, we increased the number of staff members so that we could spend more time assisting each visitor. We were pleased to see that this resulted in more attentive and fulfilling customer service throughout the event. The next Mito Token Ichi will be held for two days from Friday, December 25. We sincerely look forward to welcoming everyone again.
