The 3rd Osaka Jewelry & Gem Stone Show was held at the Osaka International Convention Center at 11/1. Because this was the only show held in Osaka, about 2,000 visitors came and they were so energetic, even though it was the small show with only 35 exhibitors. We felt that change of the venue made the show more attractive and the improvement in accessibility brought more visitors than last year.
At this time, it seemed that buyers were looking for the inexpensive items, suitable for Christmas and the end of the year sale. Surprisingly we had seen many Chinese buyers at this exhibition, were few until last year, and came to our booth to look for jade or diamond jewelry. We really thank all the visitors who came to visit our booth despite the show were held only for one day.
