We would like to offer our heartfelt condolences to all the people in areas and households damaged by Typhoon #19. We hope you recover quickly from this storm.

There was a gale-force wind warning here on Sado Island, but thankfully the typhoon didn’t cause any damage at Kodo Village or Kodo Apprentice Centre. The Kodo members on tour in Japan are all safe and sound, too.

If you’re in one of the areas in Japan that is still on alert, please take care. We are thinking of you.
