7/9/09 Up!     Notice for Kiku Prices Due to the recent further devalution of U.S. Dollar against Japanese Yen, the JKD Special prices became lower than Kiku's Japanese sale prices at the current exchange rate, so we regret to have to raise all Kiku prices by 10% effective from August 1st, 2009. Please understand this situation, and try to order by July 31, 2009 to get current prices.

Pre-Notice for price increases        Up!   3/17/08     So far, we have been doing our best to keep our competitive prices, in spite of the price raises from the manufacturers for the increased costs of  steels and other materials. However, the recent weak Dollar (about 15% down against Japanese Yen currenty in these months) is putting us into a dificult situation to keep the current prices any longer.      We will therefore have to make some price increases on most of the items in the near future. Please understand this situation and accept our new prices that will be effective without advance notice.We will however try to maintain the increase as minimum as possible.      Thank you for your co-operation and your continued support.      Best Regards,      Jemmy & Koki Iwahara
