– a conversation with Lillian Hanako Rowlatt
Imagine, you’ve started a business shipping delicious local Japanese delicacies around the world.
Your international customers are loving the beautiful boxes of goodies that you send.
And the artisan Japanese producers are so grateful that you’ve opened up to them a whole new global market.
It’s all going wonderfully!
And then…
The pandemic comes along…
…and Japan Post stops sending parcels to the U.S. and other countries where your loyal customers are waiting for their next delivery.
