Hello,
This is Tsutsumi from Oikawa Furniture dot com.
Actually, last week I was down with a cold every day except Monday, so it's my first day back at work in a week.
This year, the mandarins are delicious (apparently it's a good year in Japan) and I've been eating more than two a day. I didn't eat that many last year, so I thought, "I won't catch a cold this year because I'm eating a lot of mandarins," but I caught one easily...
Please take care of your health, everyone.
By the way, Japanese houses, known for their high ventilation, can be quite cold in the winter. A unique heating appliance that has evolved in Japan to address this cold is the kotatsu.
In Japan, the combination of a kotatsu and mandarins is a classic winter style. The kotatsu we offer can be found here:

We handle an even wider range of kotatsu on our Japanese site: https://www.coordinatekagu.jp/c/living/kotatu
We also offer international shipping on our Japanese site.
The first newsletter of the month is about new products, but this time there's only one. So, I would like to share some other recent news with you.

1. New Products for November
A stylish wall-mounted TV board with block-style panels!

Until now, we have not dealt with high-type TV stands at our company. The reason is "because they're unfashionable." Moreover, the size of the TV to be placed is limited to a certain size, so personally, I wasn't very interested in handling high-type TV stands. However, the high-type TV stand I'm introducing this time is fashionable.
Moreover, it's an elegant wall-mounted TV stand that will completely revamp your interior, focusing on texture. If you're interested, I'd be grateful if you could check the details from the link.
