As our special benefit program for shareholders, we present
gifts of new rice to holders of 1,000 or more shares at the end of March, and
Masterpieces of the Tokugawa Art Museum art calendars to holders of 100 or more
shares at the end of September.
This new rice is the Koshihikari variety from
Uonuma in Niigata Prefecture, acclaimed as the most delicious in Japan. We deliver
it in early October, right after harvest.
The art calendar has earned numerous
awards at calendar shows throughout Japan, and the 2007 edition showcases the
illustrated Tale of Genji scrolls, a national treasure, as well as other specially
selected masterpieces in the collection of the Tokugawa Art Museum, including
some designated as cultural treasures. We send this calendar in December. |
