As we are located in Taitoku of Tokyo, which is 220km away from the nuclear power plant of Fukushima,
there has not been radioactivity that would harm the human body. So please do not worry.
The evacuation order has only been enforced within the 20km radius and order to remain within buildings
for the 30km area surrounding the power plant.
The direction of wind is also towards the Pacific Ocean, and so Tokyo is not in the path of the wind.
We have noted the readings information of the radioactivity below.
Now, the model type items has not been object of the shipping limitation inside and outside Japan.
Many of the production factories are overseas, and as we stock our products from suppliers in Tokyo,
there are no products being shipped from Fukushima.
Since the products we deal are not food related, they are less likely to be contaminated by radiation
to begin with, so please do not worry.
If the government or custom decides to place a limitation against shipment of products, we will announce
this on our website.

At the point of measurement in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo (Institute of Public Health, Tokyo:
Shinjuku Hyakunincho), the amount of radiation in the air are being measured, and has detected a reading
of 0.809μSv(Micro Sievert)/h on the 15th of March, which has been the highest reading so far.
(The level has decreased to approximately 0.1μSv at present on 31st March.)
Even if we assume this highest reading from the 15th is to continue for a year (24hours 365days peryear),
the amount of radiation will be 7078μSv over the year.
According to the website of National Institute of Radiological Sciences, if the amount of radiation
exposure is below 100mSv (=100,000μSv), it will not cause immediate harm to the health.
*note 1) The unit of radiation portion: 1mSv(Mili Sievert) = 1000μSv
*note 2) Reference for comparison: Chest radiography/X-ray = 60μSv per scan
