The cherry blossoms have fallen, and the cherry blossom viewing season has come to an end. Did you all go cherry blossom viewing?
With the weather warming up and spring in full swing, Ms. Shimaji is in high spirits, wearing her favorite jacket.


Shimaji: "Now that it's getting warmer, it's finally the season to wear my favorite Attolini jacket. I watched the movie 'The Great Beauty,' and I thought the jacket the main character was wearing was so cool that I ended up splurging. The main character in the movie wore a white or yellow jacket, but I chose red."

Wearing a bright red jacket like that, Shimaji-san is truly a stylish yakuza.


Shimaji: "When you find something beautiful, buy it without hesitation. Your sense of style is honed through romantic extravagance. I hope you continue your romantic extravagance."
