Happy New Year to everyone.
We look forward to your continued support of Kawaguchi Tourakuen this year as well.
How did you all spend your New Year's holidays?
A customer who enjoys fishing sent me a photo of the first sunrise of the year.
It is the first sunrise in Mushadomari, Ainan Town, Minamiuwa District, Ehime Prefecture.
Apparently, they went fishing from the end of the year into the beginning of the new year.
I haven't seen the first sunrise in many years, but this beautiful photograph filled me with a sense of solemnity.
They say that "the best plan for the year is made on New Year's Day," so I would like to set my own goals and make this a wonderful year.
Today, I went out to have some pieces photographed, and I visited a photo studio I don't usually use, where I had a very delightful encounter.
The owner was very meticulous, taking many photos of each piece, and they also listened carefully to my opinions and incorporated them into the process.
After taking the shots, they showed me each one on a large screen, ensuring we captured photos that I was truly satisfied with.
I had never experienced such an exchange while taking photos before, so I was very touched by the owner's attentive service.
I have decided that I will continue to work with that studio in the future.
It made me realize once again that I, too, must do my very best to provide such a pleasant experience for every one of my customers.
