Before I knew it, it was already mid-January. Just the other day, I was saying "Happy New Year!"...
Now that it's January, I've had some unusual experiences, like getting gastroenteritis and having to call the JAF because my car ran out of gas. I wonder how many times I've been sick in the past year.
Now, with the new year upon us, things are getting busier at our Kochi factory.
We are currently making many "slightly larger picture book stands" at once.
This is one of our regular products, but right now, we are flooded with pre-orders from kindergartens and nurseries, as well as from hometown tax donations. Our craftsmen are making each product carefully and with great joy.
Each unit contains many boards of different sizes, and each one must be visually checked for cracks or dirt as it is assembled.
And as I put it together, I had to slightly change the way I hammered in the screws depending on the compatibility of the wood, and finally it took shape ♪♪
Once assembled, the parts need to be polished, and inspection is essential here as well.
Once polishing is complete, two people work together to apply oil paint.
My senior (who didn't want his face shown) didn't like the camera pointing at him, but he was laughing by himself while painting, so I couldn't help but take a picture.
The two of them carefully applied two coats of paint, resulting in a shine and texture that is unique to Nakayoshi Library.
The completed slightly larger picture book stand is so popular that we are currently out of stock, so please order early. We will ship it out as soon as it is completed.
Oh my, we're working on something unusual in the office too.
It's still in the prototype stage, but it's a health device that supposedly improves blood circulation.
