New Year Greetings

I wish you all the best in the new year.

 

We would like to express our condolences to those who lost their lives in the massive earthquake that occurred on January 2024, 1, with its epicenter in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture, and we would like to express our deepest sympathies to all those affected. . I am sure that you are spending sleepless days as the irreplaceable material foundations that you have cultivated over many years have been shaken.

 

Our corporation continues to provide long-term mental health support activities in areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, based on the philosophy of ``Union is Power,'' a phrase left behind by Inazo Nitobe, who visited the areas affected by the Showa Sanriku Earthquake in 1933. In the future, we hope to be able to help unite the power of support for the recovery, reconstruction, and revitalization of the Noto Peninsula region. We will continue to take steps to strengthen information dissemination in order to convey what we have learned so far to related parties.

 

We pray for a speedy recovery and good health for everyone.
