2015 Jan. 1, 2015

Last month, as my father took a step back as director of the company, I shouldered this responsibility and the tasks that come with it.

It has almost been five years since I started this journey at Touken Matsumoto, and thanks to the staff and people around me, the company and myself are growing steadily.

As a sword trader and a connoisseur, I have still a lot of things to learn before I am at an expert level. However, with the support of my father and other teachers of mine, I feel confident that one day I may realize the goals I have set for myself and for the company.

So, as the new year begins, I look forward to it with great anticipations and would like to thank you as well as wish you all a happy 2015.

Happy holidays

This year is shortly coming to an end and new one will begin in a few days. For me, 2014 has preceded my expectations and I feel very grateful to all our friends and customers. My efforts will continue both in improving our service and to further our relationships and studies. Furthermore, I am looking forward to seeing everyone in 2015. And thus, the only thing that remains is to wish you all happy holidays and a very happy 2015.

Sincerely,

Yoshiyuki Matsumoto
