A word from the person in charge: “Yamashita’s Yama”
Thank you as always. I’m Yamashita, the newsletter editor.
Hello everyone. Lately I’ve been hooked on tracking our Rakuten reviews for our Made in Japan traditional Japanese goods and Japanese stationery. When I adjust the Rakuten page design, the reviews catch my eye, and some customers even leave repeat comments. We are truly grateful for the high rating: 875 reviews with an average of 4.91 stars. The count may already be higher by the time you read this, even compared to what I wrote just now. And all of this is thanks to our production craftspeople and shipping team. If we have stock, products are shipped at the speed of light with almost “demon-level” accuracy. If we don’t have stock, our craftspeople carefully finish even the smallest parts one by one. Finished items spread across the workbench, and in the blink of an eye packing boxes line up and get filled. I helped a little once, but while I was completing one piece, the team had already finished five—so I became more of a burden. And even though everything is handmade, the quality is remarkably consistent. Incredible. It’s the result of daily dedication, and I truly can’t thank them enough. The reviews are also warm and educational. Since we handle Yuzen Washi, I always wonder how customers use the items after purchase. When I see comments like “We used it for ___,” I think, “Ah, that’s a great idea.” I’m receiving great inspiration every day. We’re almost at 900 reviews, and I’ll continue doing what I can—like improving our Rakuten pages. We are also renewing our Boys’ Day product pages, so please look forward to them.
