Message from the Editor – Yamashita’s Corner




Hello, this is Yamashita, your newsletter editor.




One of my hobbies is drawing.


In college I loved painting landscapes with acrylics and pastels.


Later I discovered I could sketch on a smartphone—scenery, people, animals, etc.—all with one finger.


Now I’m hooked on drawing characters.




Should I upgrade to a tablet? Or stick with my phone since it’s just a hobby?


I’ve debated for a year—time flies as we age.




Maybe I’ll decide when my bonus arrives—or when my index finger gives out!


Today’s newsletter covers “Ishikawa Shigyo Original Name‑Plaque Stands” and “Ready‑to‑Ship Boys’ Day Dolls Stock List.”
