Hello Boss,
How R U? vol.12

Welcome to my home. I was just shoe polishing by the entrance. I just recently started shoe polishing, and it is becoming a routine during the weekends. I spend about one hour each session, polishing a couple of pairs carefully. Many say that your feet represent your personality, and that when you exchange greetings, your eyes will surely gaze at the other person’s feet. I don’t leave a good impression if my shoes are dirty. It is very important to pay attention to your grooming. Aside from shoes, I always want to keep my belongings clean.
Shoe polishing is similar to knife sharpening. Just like I’m happy to sharpen my knife, I feel good when I can shine my shoes. It is also important to take care of your tools and belongings. I change my shoes every day to help them last a long time. In addition, I carry my shoehorn to prevent my heel from being crushed. You can quietly concentrate on shoe polishing by yourself. This relaxing time is special to me. Oh, is it raining? I need to take care of my shoes, especially during rainy season. That means that I need more time than usual to concentrate. Now let’s see, next I put this cream here…

President Endo spends quality time at his house in Seki, Gifu Prefecture. He started collecting shoe polishing tools because of a book he recently read “You can change yourself by polishing shoes”. By putting on a denim apron and brushing his favorite shoes, he’s already getting used to his work.
