January 17, 2018 We have sent a mail to Mr. Sato to complete the procedure.

January 20, 2018 We received a call from Mr. Sato and informed us that we would like to spread the beanbag of utility models to the world.

When I asked why I wanted to spread beanbags,

Mr. Sato says,

" I lost my father in the war and then had a lot of hardships after the war. At that time, beanbags made me feel strangely distracted and happy. It can be painful to live. However, if you play a beanbag at that time, your heart will be strangely lost. It's strange (laughs).

Immediately after the end of the war, there was nothing really happening, and there was nothing more than a beanbag to play with, so I ended up doing only beanbags, so I also have a 6-dan beanbag. I'm the only one in Miyazaki prefecture. Still, I would like everyone to enjoy beanbags. If you use a normal beanbag, the contents will pop out as you continue to use it, but this beanbag has a stronger seam so that the contents will not pop out even if you continue to use it. I thought that it would be possible to sell one piece for 300 to 400 yen in the city, so I registered a utility model. We will also send beanbags to Mr. Yamashita, so please check the strength. And please play with beanbags. If anyone wants to enjoy beanbags, I will make as many as I want, so feel free to tell me. I hope it will be a comfort when you have a hard time. "is what they said.

It warmed me to realize that the work I started casually was connected to someone else and was useful to someone else. It was about a month since I started my business, but I'm glad I started a business and helped someone else.

January 23, 2018 Mr. Sato mailed a beanbag by Takkyubin. They wrapped it very carefully, and when I tried beanbags, it was quite interesting after a long time.

February 1, 2018 We have sent a QUO card (500 yen worth) to Mr. Sato as a thank you for receiving the receipt and "beanbag".

January 3, 2019 We have mailed a request for payment of the utility model right pension.

January 24, 2019 Since Mr. Sato did not contact me, I called the "Japanese Otedama Association Headquarters" (0897-32-0302) and confirmed that Mr. Sato was safe.

January 25, 2019 We received a call back from the "Japanese Otedama Association Headquarters".

According to the "Japanese Otedama Association Headquarters",

"Mr. Sato hasn't paid the membership fee since March last year, so when I made an inquiry over the phone, a relative said," Mr. Sato died shortly after being hospitalized because he was ill in March last year. It seems that he was contacted. " I'm very sorry, but it may have been a sudden thing. "

We would like to express our deepest condolences and will continue to protect Mr. Sato's utility model rights in order to pray for Mr. Sato's soul.
