January 1, 2014 : A Happy New Year!



A happy new year ! Under the economical Policy of Abe- Liberal Democratic Party the low YEN rate raise prices for all imported materials, oils etc. Small companies have no merit with this Policy.
Prime Minister Abe visited Yasukuni Shrine at the end of the year 2013, which causes trouble in some countries in Asia. He is the top of Japanese officers and so he must act everything more carefully.
However we expect that the new year 2014 brings more active economy to all Japanese.
We wish all of you are in a good health peacefully throughout this year 2014 !



January 1, 2013 : A Happy New Year!

February 9-20, 2005 : Rope magic on Mr. Maric's miracle dream show

Mr. Maric's miracle dream show No.1 is holding at the Hakuhinkan theater near the JR-Shinbashi Station from February 9, Wednesday to 20, Sunday.
"The most entertaining one is a miracle and the biggest laugh is a surprise." is the theme of the Miracle dream show No.1. We can enjoy 2 hours, with dream and without a present reality, to see the magic show of young magicians, whom Mr Maric certified.
The story teller is Mr. Masao Komatsu disguised as late Mr. Nagaharu Yodogawa, very famous movie commentator, and he presides the show with young magicians.
There are many magics as the magic draem by Mr. Maric to a quiet rope magic by young magician.
It is a must for the people who is interesting in magic.




The left under photo shows Mr. Maric and President Mr. Yamada of Firm Tenyo, the big seller of magic goods, and the right under photo is a part of the cover page of the show-catalogue. The color of the places of A and of B look like different darkness for human eyes, but the same. It is a magic. You can compare the RGB values with the places A and B and find the same values.



January 2, 2005 : The Movie "Odoru Daisosasen II" on the Air

The big topic police movie "Odoru Daisosasen 2 (The Dancing Dragnet; The Movie 2; A Blockade the Rainbowbridge !)", which is talked about among young people from the spring of the year 2003, was on the Air on January 1, 2005. Our special made Red ropewas used as the important movie property.
The murder spot is surrounded with this red rope like a spider web, and moreover the rope is tied very skillfully and carefully. The red color is remarkable and we forget for a moment this scene is the murder spot. The tying of the rope is a special way and is often tied among SM players. An tying experiment at the Police office uses the red rope and the red rope is also left at the murderer's place. The red rope is used 3 times, which are very important scenes.
This red rope looks like a normal rope at a glance. However if we use our business word, then we say this is not rope but cord, namely, Cotten Braid with core. The outside skin called GAWAHIMO is very thin and the material of a braid core is soft, flexible but strong using our idea. This braid needs during 50 days from cotton thread through braid and dyeing to finish.
About 30 years ago, the late and first President, Founder Tamiya made this special braid for magicians. Now it is a little thicker and heavier and is used very few for magic. But this braid is used for other purposes and we prepared colored braids by request.
We are handling ropes and cords about 90 years, and are very pleased that this classic and hand-made braid is used in the movie as an important role.

I lost my way on the street of Kyobashi 2-chome Nishi in tokyo on last Friday, June 8, 2007. A kind lady found me and took me to the Cats Street of Kyobashi 2-chome. I have cut my teeth and can eat canned foods but am not familiar with dry foods.

In April I didn't know why people knew my name but people call me Maru-chan. I spent much time in May and I joined cats on this street at last in Summer. I ate always another helping and am getting bigger. Thank you for your help in future too.

No.4 : Monthly news about "The Cats Street"

Where is "The Cats Street" ?

There are some spaces in downtowns before, but there are no open spaces in Kyobashi 2-chome because of many building sites.
There are also many stray cats (homeless cats) more than supposition in the center of Tokyo, and these cats were sometimes killed by traffic accidents. We called the branch road front of our shop "The Cats Street", and rear these cats with care of everyone's good faith not to bother people. The stray cat is able to undergo a contraceptive operation at cheap cost on the understanding of a veterinarian, then stray cats are undergone the operation one by one. "Fujiko Fund" was established and Fujiko is a cat's name who was undergone the operation first time with care of someone's good faith.
We appreciate people who take care of cats on Saturday, Sunday and holiday. Please kindly look after these stray cats. With thanks to people concerned we give report called "The Cats Street News" every month.

We show the map of "The Cats Street", and please come to our cats street to see cats, if you find free time.
Thank you.
This is why we began to publish the news No.1 from January 2002.
