Last week 3 of us (the designer, production manager, and myself)
went to Hiroshima and Okayama.

Being attended by a dealer that always take care of us
we went around sewn product manufacturing and modification
factories checking out the process of how WTAPS products are made
also we were able to actually touch and use the tools experiencing
the process; we were able to spend a very valuable time.

Unfortunately opportunities like this are not frequent;
being able to see what goes on in the field there were many things
that we noticed for the first time.
There were things that I thought I knew about,
but actually didn’t know about.
The most important was the obvious of how we are because
these people are here, and through the commonplace method of meeting
these people face to face and talking, we were able to realize this.

I would like to give my thanks to those people that take care of us in
making things together.
We look forward to keep this relationship going.
