Leica as a honor

The name plate shown here has been hung so long as for half a century on the wall of well-established Leica shop at Shinsaibashi Namba in OSAKA. Most of the managements of the store had been mainly done by some noble and sophisticated lady called as not "TOKYO Rose" but "OSAKA Leica", the very name plate is now at my hand!  Leica is female noun in Germany.
The shop had been continuing to deal only Leica but nothing, all the competitors in OSAKA were at a loss how could she do that with specializing Leica bland only?  Overcoming several  difficult period of times caused by some domestic economical variations, she could keep her own concept, "Leica".
Anyway she had been dealing only regular imports from Germany and Canada Leitz Company. Her dealing concept must have been based on her innate Prides and Self-esteems for over 50 years of period. Such kind of woman with a resolute as she is, the Leica shop in Daimaru Shinsaibashi was closed on the beginning of this year, because of some her health difficulty influenced by age.
She gave me this marvelous and treasure like name plate for the sake of long term relationships.
