What "orata" means.

Hello.

"What does 'orata' mean?"

Many people have asked me this.

I am very happy that so many people are interested.

"Orata" is made up of "ora" + "ta."

"Ora" means "myself," "I," or "me" in the Sendai dialect.

"Oradazu" means "we,"

"Orai" means "my home,"

"Oraho" is used to mean "this side" or similar.

By the way, "andai" means "your home," and "andaho" means "your side."

"Ta" comes from "tape."

In other words, the name was given with the meaning of "my tape," "my own tape," or "our tape."

When you write or stick a name on something, it feels a little different before and after you do it.

The moment you name it, you suddenly feel attached to it,

You imagine using it in various ways,

Someone finds it and hands it back saying, "Is this yours?",

You feel relieved thinking, "I'm glad it was found!"

Seeing the names carefully stuck by family members, you might hold back tears that almost flow in the classroom.

I want to create tape that nurtures such special feelings.

Each one is handmade, so it takes time.

But I believe you will like it and use it, and as you use it, your feelings will blend with it, making it truly one of a kind in the world.
