To Our Customers<\/p>\n\n

Notice of Temporary Closure<\/p>\n\n

We appreciate your business. For the time<\/span> being, due to the present\ncircumstances, we must suspend business. We apologize<\/span> from the bottom of\nour heart for the trouble.<\/p>\n\n

Posted next to it was the demolition company's work permit, and a\nstatement<\/span> that the building had no asbestos. Of course, I'd never<\/span> seen nor\nused “asbestos” in Japanese before, but that word — \u77f3\u7dbf<\/span> — is\ncomposed from the characters for “rock” and “cotton”, which, in this\ncontext, I figured<\/span> had to be asbestos, and indeed it is.<\/p>\n\n
