No, nothing has changed. Ms. Watanabe already assigned a new head of the Museum a few years back. A new person, Ms. Shida is the person I am talking to and arranging in detail about the visit. Thank you Yurie

Hi, Everyone I started to receive sign-up sheets from those who decided to visit the Sano Museum on 5/29/2024. I am thinking the limit of the number of people would be around 15 people. Anyone who sends me the sign-up sheet would be the first priority. People who showed interest in going in the past in this thread, I recommend to send me the sign-up sheet. Thank you Yurie

Hi, This is Yurie. My husband and I would like to join you at the Friday dinner at 7:30. Please add us to the dinner gathering. We will be driving, so we have 3 spaces (may be tight) for anybody who needs a ride to the restaurant. Looking forward Yurie

Hello everyone, After consulting with the Sano Museum's schedule, we decided on the visiting day on May 29th (Wed) 2024. I am talking with them back and forth about the details of that day, like the Museum fee, meeting time, visiting Mishima shrine, etc. The itinerary of the day will be posted soon. Thank you very much for everybody's interest. Thank you, Yurie

Hi Brian, I'm looking forward to meeting you too. I will be in the show from 8/4 ~ 8/6. New England Lobster dinner will be on 2nd, Sushi is on 6th. 2nd is not possible, 6th not so sure yet. But either way, we will be in the same show for 3 days. I am really looking forward to seeing you. If the 2nd and 6th are not possible to attend for me, Let's arrange something between 4th ~ 6th with mutual friends. I have a few people I want you to meet. I am not sure if Yoshihara is coming this year. If he is coming let's arrange something including him. Thank you Yurie

Oh, OK. I understand. Thank you. Yurie
