The day I was deeply moved by a sudden gift

It came
suddenly.

A Yamato delivery absence slip
was left in my mailbox.

“Huh?
Did I buy something online?”

I had no idea what it could be,
so I checked the front to see if it was a mistake...

My name and the sender's name were written as
“Adachi Heat Treatment Laboratory”.

Immediately, in my head,
I heard the sound of puzzle pieces clicking into place.

“Adachi Heat Treatment Laboratory!
It’s Katsuo-san!!”

Katsuo-san is a noter who runs

“Katsuo Club”based on the concept of “making donations a culture.”

The “Katsuo Club” run by Katsuo-san
has already achieved wonderful results.

The details are as follows.

Katsuo-san’s ability to take action to deliver the donations
collected from membership participants to the places that need them.

I truly respect you.

Also, attention is focused on the fact that you are working in full cooperation with Miiko-san on the "Space Brothers" nationwide donation project.

I never expected...

A package arrived from Katsuo-san.

I couldn't stop feeling excited.

I immediately contacted the driver listed on the missed delivery slip and requested a redelivery of the package.

After waiting for two hours, thinking "I wonder if it's here yet, I wonder if it's here yet."

Finally, the package was delivered to me. (It felt like a long time...)

The package was inside a long, thin tube.

"Could this be..."

With my expectations growing somewhat,
I took out the contents of the envelope and the tube.

✔ Unboxing ceremony

Inside the envelope wasan "iron plate"and
inside the tube wasa "rolled-up A3-sized paper"inside.

At this point, my excitement
had reached its peak.

"No doubt about it."

Convinced of this, I first
unrolled the paper.

"It's here!!"

That paper was the
poster for the "Space Brothers" nationwide donation project
.

It might be hard to convey in a photo, but
the actual size is incredibly impressive.

Wonderful words dance among the stars
scattered across the night sky.

While gazing at the poster, I was immediately captivated by the golden words written at the top right of the girl,

“I have a dream”.

It truly symbolizes that Miiko-san's dream of donating "Space Brothers" to the entire country is a reality.

Continuing on, I felt a powerful energy that I could only agree with in the golden words written as,
“change the game”.

Do not let a dream end as just a dream.

These are words that convey a firm and strong will to "definitely make the dream come true."

And then, the great words written in the book the girl is opening.

“one step together is better than a hundred steps alone”

It brilliantly expresses the philosophy of the "Katsuo Club": "Make donation a culture."

As I look at it, it is a fascinating poster that strangely makes me feel a sense of exhilaration and the strength to move forward, thinking, "I'll do it!"

✔ A plate that conveys thoughts

While admiring the poster, I suddenly remembered the contents of the envelope.

Even before opening it,
I could feel a solid weight.

From its shape, I could
immediately tell that there was a plate inside.

Ohhhhhhh!!!

A plate about 7cm tall
and 15cm wide.

On the surface, the imposing word 'Donation' is engraved,
and below it are the four characters for 'Space Brothers' and
the words 'National Donation Project'.

Flanking the QR code are
'Katsuo Club' and the mascot character.

The lettering of the note
gives off a sense of antique silver.

No...

I was just
overwhelmed with emotion 😭

On the silver plate,
there are only simple, clear words
that strike straight to the heart.

In the uncluttered arrangement of the text,
I felt that Katsuo-san's unwavering passion
was poured into it.

I immediately hung it proudly on my room wall and,
if I may say so myself,with a 'smug look'I am basking in the afterglow.

Also, thanks to the stylish monument,
the room looks really cool now😊

Katsuo-san!

Thank you so much for sending me
such wonderful posters and plates😭😭

From now on, I plan to look at both of them every morning
to get lots of energy.

Also,
I will treasure them for the rest of my life.

Truly...

Truly
thank you so much!!

(So, my Santa Claus
　was you, Katsuo-san😊)

Well then, until next time.
Goodbye.
