A Farewell Party for a Very Dear Friend

A farewell party for a very dear colleague who has led the Workshop Collection.
The gift we all prepared was a cake featuring the Workshop Collection characters.
A handmade CANVAS-style laptop (with a blackboard for the display and a chalk eraser for the touchpad.The optical drive is a piece of chalk. The keyboard is made of “memory magnets.” Each key, featuring a drawing of a cherished face or item, is a magnet. There are also triangle rulers and protractor magnets.)
And the collection of messages, bound in a cover featuring a caricature, was too big to fit in a single volume, so there’s a separate booklet titled
“Dear Ms. Miyamoto.” A person of great character, loved by everyone. I respect you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for the past 12 years!
And here’s to many more together!
