In Japan, we usually enjoy a cherry blossom party so-called ‘Hanami’ in March. We gather at the park with friends and family members drinking and chatting. However, we have to refrain from it due to this pandemic season. It is said cherry blossom blooming completely today. I went to the park nearby and took this photo. I hope we can see it enjoying ‘Hanami’ next year.

Yesterday, we loaded casings for retreading 11R22.5 and 275/80R22.5. In Japan, tire sizes are varied gradually and 11R22.5 become fewer. We have to see these trends in the tire industry to keep the loading.
