2nd Anniversary

Good morning.

A Sunday just like any other.

While I am busy with housework and work,

my daughter is making something with a milk carton.

Outside, it suddenly feels like spring.

Two years ago today, when I opened my new online shop,

I was so nervous that I have no memory at all of what was happening outside.

One year, two years, it has only been two years,

but even after two years, I am still busy,

because customers have spread the masking tape I make,

and have cherished it, I believe.

They have sent encouraging messages and given me ideas for new products,

and even when I was in a pinch,

they continued to stay connected with me, and I am grateful for that.

Also, it is thanks to the printing company that always accommodates my requests,

and it would not have been possible without the cooperation of my family.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone, everyone.

I wonder how far I can keep going.

I still have no confidence, as always,

but I have decided to continue making each item carefully as I have until now.

As long as there is a sign that something new will be born from me,

as long as there are customers who say they want it,

as long as my family says it’s okay to continue,

I don’t know how far this ladder will go,

but I felt I would try my best to climb it.

It was the morning of the start of the third year.
