In the latest issue of the Tokenkai paper, Touken Matsumoto was featured in a very flattering article.
I will try to interpret the article below as I feel very happy about it.
“Touken Matsumoto has been run by Matsumoto Tomio for more than 25 years, and has been successful largely due to this man’s honest and happy character. Three years ago, his son, Yoshiyuki joined the business and has added to it with his youthful character as well.
On the 19th of May, the Nodakai event was held as it always is, and as a result of constant efforts of making customers feeling welcome and satisfied, saw its greatest success thus far.
Another contributing factor may be that Japanese economy is getting stronger, and therefore is helping businesses in general with their sales and stability.”
Personally, I feel hopeful for Japan’s economic future as a depreciated yen makes Japan a cheaper market for foreign customers.
