The opening show was blessed with fine weather on Saturday, May 26, 1990. I asked the gallery to see without any ceremonies so that they could feel free to participate. Put the tent in the empty area next to the gallery room, prepare snacks and cookies, and
our female staffs served coffee and tea.
Those who took care of the items and books in the gallery, we invited people who worked long, retired at retirement age, suppliers, friends, etc., and had a fun day of early summer. Aside the 10th anniversary exhibited ukiyo-e prints of about 50 points as a special exhibition in exactly the same form. In 1993 we launched a portable case (dental set) contains 3 interdental brushes, 1 floss pick and10 dental picks as a dental care product. We expected the user will understand that dental pick is one of the tool to care teeth after meals.
