Last month, we formed a business partnership with "Fukuyose Hina Project," led by my former Nagoya JC colleague, Momo-chan. (haha)
This project will send wonderful Japanese Hina dolls overseas, giving them second lives.

Promptly, the Hina dolls will set off for a homestay. The homestay destination is Brazil, the farthest country from Japan.
Last week, we secretly decided to have the seven members of Company A, who are in Japan for our FFG machine training, host the dolls at their homes. Many Hina dolls wished to go to Brazil, but Momo-chan carefully selected seven pairs of dolls for the seven people.
On the last day at ISOWA, after all the training programs had ended, there was sudden excitement and cheers when Momo-chan was introduced to the seven members. Everyone was surprised and, of course, couldn't understand what was happening.
So, I explained to them the purpose of the Fukuyose Hina Project and said,
"Please let one pair of Hina dolls stay at each of your homes indefinitely. Also, please introduce this traditional Japanese culture of Hina dolls to your family and friends in Brazil."
Everyone was overjoyed and agreed to the request, even wanting to take pictures with Momo-chan. Look at the joyful expressions on everyone's faces!
Momo-chan was loved by everyone!
It's quite a grand romance that Hina dolls, after finishing their initial careers in Japan, start their second lives in the homes of the important clients of ISOWA, just like the people who immigrated from Japan before the war. It's a bit touching.
Thinking this way, I noticed that Thiago felt the same. Tears appeared in Thiago's eyes... Seeing that made me even more moved.
They are all really nice guys. It's truly wonderful to work with a company like Company A, our long-time customer, and to bring happiness to our associates and folks in the corrugated world.
Once you return to Brazil, please pour out your love to ISOWA machines and Hina dolls.
Thank you, everyone at Company A.
And thank you to Momo-chan and everyone in the Fukuyose Hina Project for offering such a wonderful cultural exchange partnership!
P.S.
Everyone at Company A, thank you for sending us the photos of the Hina dolls you decorated at home!
