arigato.ありがとう.thank.you

last day on the project. you had a very challenging day with the production runs.

an emergency meeting was called... you thought it was about the problems above.

later you realized it's a surprise presentation of farewell gift to you.

 a lovely bouquet of flowers, a card and a gift...

 arigato - you love the simplicity of the card, your style!

and the little gift is a japanese fan, what a perfect token of remembrance of your time in japan and practical to carry around and use in the warm places that you are about to visit.

and the nice words that written on the cards... your eyes were red when reading these handwriting (that you digitized)
