It was such a scary moment.

The earthquake hit Japan on March 11th Friday, 2011, the fourth most powerful earthquake in the world.

The 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake

It was the biggest and longest earthquake we have ever experienced.
Even in Tokyo area, we still feel many aftershocks everyday, and our
office will be affected by the rolling blackouts.

We were so grateful for the condolences and compassion received
from many countries, that surely encouraged us.

This event made us think deeply about the meaning of life and feel
how affluent life we have been living surrounded by sufficient supplies.

There still are so many missing people and evacuators in disaster areas.
To support the reconstruction of Japan, we decided to give financial
assistance as donations through Japanese Red Cross Workers' Union.

We wish to extend our heartfelt sympathies to all those affected by
this earthquake.

The Land of the Rising Sun, there is always tomorrow.

がんばれ　日本。

July 7th is the day of Tanabata, the Star Festival.
The event was introduced into Japan in the 8th century and became popular during the Edo Period.

This is the only day in a year when a pair of lovers, stars separated by the Milky Way, can see each other.

It is said that the event is a combination of Chinese tradition with beliefs peculiar to Japan. So, now on the day of Tanabata, people in Japan write their wishes on strips of colorful paper and hang them from bamboo branches.

Here at Trinity office, we do not have bamboo branches, so we hang our wishes from a foliage plant.

Let's see what our wishes are...

Want to have everything I want!

No more working over time :'(

World Peace :)

What are your wishes?

Trinity will be closed from May 1st to May 9th due to Japanese national holidays.
We call this consecutive holidays "Golden Week".

May 1st: Trinity's Birthday
May 3rd: Constitution Memorial Day
May 4th: Greenery Day
May 5th: Children's Day

On the Children's Day, families often fly the carp-shaped streamers called Koinobori outside their homes to represent strength and success in life because Chinese legends say carps become dragons when they swim up whitewater rapids.

Trinity just celebrated its 4th birthday on May 1st, hoping that we continue to be successful like waving carps in the spring wind, a symbol of a successful career.

We will be back again on May 10th, Monday.
