    Tomio Moriguch, Executive Officer of Uwajimaya, Inc.: Integrating American and Japanese Business Models Moriguch, Tomio My name is Jess Van Duzer and I am the dean of the School of Business and Economics. This is the first of our three Dean’s Speaker Series for this year. We are very glad you could be here. I suspect many of you are here as part of a class. You should know that each of these three speaker series are open to you at all times, whether or not your class is asking you to come. What we try to do is bring some of the leading business leaders from our community here so that you have a chance to get to know them in a relatively intimate way. They will tell you a little bit about their background, a little bit about their company. Really it is a time for you to ask them questions. Our hope in doing all of this is that it will help you take some of the stuff we are trying to teach in classes and see how it shows up on the ground. So I encourage you to be thinking as you listen of questions you might want to ask or you might want to say. In our class we are always told this but how does that really work and is my professor nuts? So however you want to phrase your questions it will be fine. We are glad you are here. I am going to ask Mark if you would do the introductions.

  • Tet the Vietnamese New Year Normally Vietnamese, Chinese & Other Oriental People Use the Same Calendar As the Rest of the World
    Tet - The Vietnamese New Year Normally Vietnamese, Chinese & other oriental people use the same calendar as the rest of the world. But they also follow a lunar calendar that they consult often when scheduling life-events that they want to insure are blessed with good luck. The Vietnamese calendar like the Chinese calendar began in the year 2637 B.C. It is 355 days long and consists of 12 months that are 29 or 30 days long. About every three years a thirteenth month is added to maintain balance. In Vietnam, the calendar was devised based on the regularly changing phases of the moon. Most Vietnamese, even city dwellers and overseas Vietnamese, have a lunar calendar in their homes to consult for festivals and auspicious dates. Because of the use of the lunar calendar, the actual days of the New Year vary from year to year. The equinoxes and solstices that marked the beginning of the European seasons were taken as the midpoint by the Asian calendar with the result that each Vietnamese season begins six weeks earlier than its European counterpart. Tet, in the Vietnamese language, symbolizes the very first morning of the New Year in Vietnam and is popularly known as the Vietnamese New Year. Also known by the name of Nguyen-Dan, its celebrations lasts for about 7 days. The celebrations of the Vietnamese New Year involves a lot of excitement and enthusiasm and is it is regarded as one of the most popular festivals of the year among the Vietnam people. The happiness associated with Vietnamese New Year can be attributed to the fact that this particular festival brings along one of the most desired break in the agricultural year for the Vietnamese people.

Applicant: Molly Martin, Blanton Turner Ms. Frestedt explained the proposed installation of four (4) construction banners. Dimensions: 5’h x 10’w. Exhibits included photographs and material sample. She said the signs will be attached to scaffolding. Estimated duration: Oct. 2015 – January 2016. The Publix and Uwajimaya Warehouse buildings are located within the Asian Character Design District. She said that banner material is generally not preferred for building or business signs; however, due to the subdued nature of the graphics, the temporary nature of the construction at the site and the fact that the signs will be installed on scaffolding rather than on the building, staff does not have objections to this proposal. Administered by The Historic Preservation Program The Seattle Department of Neighborhoods “Printed on Recycled Paper” Molly Martin, Blanton Turner, explained that the four mesh signs will hang 8’ above the sidewalk and will be attached to scaffolding with zip ties. She said the signs will be up October through December when the scaffolding comes down. She provided an artwork mock up. Responding to questions she said the size is 5’ x 10’.
