The benefits of Brexit

There is always a positive, you just have to look for it.

Here in England we are suffering for an extremely poor currency exchange rate at the moment.
Post our Brexit vote I purchased a dogi from Hirota in Japan and paid about twenty percent more than what I would normally expect to pay. However poor buying power for me may mean excellent purchasing power for you if you are outside the UK with a strong currency.

We have just shipped a commission out to the US where our client benefited greatly from the current exchange rate.

The Nafudakake was a little different from the majority of commissions.
Our client wanted to incorporate the Shotokan tiger his name and the four international associations that he was a member of. He also wanted to use just kana on the nafuda, which is something we regularly do for Japanese and high ranking recipients.

The four groups our client was a member of were The International Shotokan Ryu Karate-do Shihankai, The World Japan Karate-do Association, The Karate of Japan Federation International and The International Society of Okinawan and Japanese Karate-do.

Our Nafudakake are all custom made and take 4 to 6 weeks to produce. 
The example above was £210+ £35 shipping to the US. Our client used transfer wise with a rate of 1 USD = 0.7712 GBP with a small fee of $3.18..... Courtesy of the benefits of Brexit here in England.
