Thank you so much for deepest sympathy for the victims from earthquake and Tsunami at north area in Japan.
Fortunately IKO MATSUSHIMA’s members are safe. But a lot of peoples died and huge numbers of peoples were not found by terrible Tsunami. I believe that Japanese peoples will be able to get over these difficult trials.
I say thank you again to all Branch Chiefs and Representative who gave warm message to us.
