Real Japanese

What I have felt about my nation is; we have really been westernized.
Western style signs, music, fashion... on the street, at a shop, on one's body, and so on...
Such as Starbucks, GUCCI, Prada, etc...

I am Japanese, and I wanna see Japanese spirit in Japan.
...I found one on the street.
                     

it says "sponge cake"

This is Japanese. Written by Japanese calligraphy with writer's spirit in it; I could feel it!

Kagurazaka (where our office locates) still has this kind of Japanese.

That's why I sort of like this place.

I don't know what I wanted to say, but this is what I felt today.

Peace out.

Hi,

Today we are going to introduce a new staff, I think,

with unusual type of humor.

 

However I have understood that it's his good character, he has his own way of thinking and then will lead great success to us in the end.

So I am excited to see what will happen by working with him.

His name, Teppei KANEKO.


'' I think we can learn something which a school never teaches us.
That's why I have been fascinated with nature.
In order to become a mature man, this is a perfect place to work at.
I'm looking forward to meeting all of you!
Peace. ''

Bye, Kumiko
