On February 2nd, a surprise party was held to celebrate DIGI's own "God Father's" 60th birthday by Teraoka Japan's former International Dept. staff and other colleagues.
Taka Hattori, International Marketing Manager of Teraoka Japan, is well known as Taka _ DIGI's "God Father" among DIGI family members worldwide.
Following the Japanese tradition that a guy who has reached 60 years old should wear a red jacket and hat for celebration, he wore red clothes presented by his colleagues.
Taka, he frankly tells his surprise to John Baumann, in his reply to John's congratulation e-mail message.
"Thank you for your warm message on my birthday. Yes, it is the Japanese tradition that a guy who has reached 60 years old should wear a red jacket and hat for celebration. Yesterday at lunchtime, Emiko Kobayashi and Tomonari Koyanagi came to my desk and gave me a red hat and a red polo shirt as the birthday gifts from them and Hiro Nakazato who is now in UK. Emiko told me to wear them, so I did. Then, she said she wanted to take a picture of me in that red shirt and hat, and she invited me to the next room.
When I entered the next room, all the members of the former International Department were there and exploded crackers singing Happy Birthday to me.They kindly gave me flowers and some nice gifts as well. I was quite happy and cannot tell you how much I appreciated their thoughtfulness."
