Message from Mother of Suga brothers

Upon launching a business, my mother sold all her 65 estates in Fukagawa and offered them as business funds. She said, "Business costs much money, so the more the better. I'm afraid you don't know the severity of the business since you've been working as an office worker for a long time. Keep in mind that there is no chance anymore and do your best.” Every time I faced difficulties, I remembered what my mother told me.
(Cited from Nagaichi Suga, “Jitomyo No.2” )

Making Authentic Products

My Mother made one request on us, “Make Authentic life and products.”
I felt like my mother taught us her affection and way of life with dignified standing posture.
(Cited from Nagaichi Suga, “Mumyo Jitomyo No.4” )
