The Dai Token Ichi 2014 has ended, and I feel both grateful and happy that it was such a success.
I would like to express my thanks to everyone that visited us, and to the kind customers that brought us snacks and little treats, as well as the customers and friends from abroad.
Last year, the weather gods sent us a Typhoon which slowed business for most of the traders. This year, however, the weather was much better and it seems so was the business for many.
I have only attended this annual event for the last 4 years, but my father has attended each one since the beginning, and said this is the best year he can remember.
Over the years, all the sword traders that attend have taken their preparations and planning further and their efforts have improved the event and its success.
In conclusion, this year can be summed up with the words success and gratitude. And, I intend to further my efforts in the coming years to ensure the event’s quality and success.
