The blessings of the year are in Takasaki!

I am Yoshida, president of Yamada Shusei Ltd., a professional apparel garment repair group in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture.

 

Happy New Year! This is my first post in a while, as I was home recovering from the flu for about a week at the end of last year.

 

The year 2025 started with the Takasaki Daruma Market on January 2. This was to replace the Daruma doll I purchased in Takasaki last year with a new one.

 

 

On the back of a 2.8-meter-high “extra-large daruma” on display at the Daruma Market was the following inscription.

 

The blessings of the year are in Takasaki!

 

 I wish you all a healthy start to the year 2025.
