Happy New Year!
At the beginning of the year, we wish you a Happy New Year and wish you all good health and happiness.
The zodiacal studies of Masahiro Yasuoka, a great authority on the study of the Chinese zodiac, tells us that this year, the year of “Kinoto-mi” (meaning “the Wood Snake” in Japanese), “no matter how strong the resistance of the outside world is, we must not yield to it, but be resilient, ‘settle’ our traditional way of life, and do so in a heroic manner. We must be resilient to the resistance of the outside world.
The “Serpent” is also commonly applied to the “snake”. The snake has been respected as a spiritual creature symbolizing longevity and fertility because of its ability to shed its skin and come back to life, and its strong life force.

This spring, thanks to your support, our company/group will celebrate its 111th anniversary. We, too, must learn from the meaning of the Chinese zodiac sign, reflect on the past 110 years of mistakes, and move on to new actions with prudence and strong cooperation.
With the spirit of shedding our skin and revitalizing ourselves anew, we are determined to make every effort to grow together with all of you.
We would like to thank you for your continued support and patronage in the coming year.

Sincerely yours,
New Year’s Day, 2025
