**Press Release**

**Tokyo, June 25, 2024** — Tokyo Origami Journey, a prominent cross-border e-commerce stationery shop, announces the closure of its operations due to the owner, Ms. Ryu, needing long-term treatment for a difficult-to-cure illness. This condition has made the continuation of the business unfeasible, resulting in the prior closure of our site.

All orders placed with Tokyo Origami Journey have been canceled and refunded. We assure all our customers that the cancellation and refund processes are complete. We deeply regret that the decision to close the business may come as a disappointment to everyone.

Ryu and the entire staff feel a profound sense of sadness at this closure. We hold on to the hope that one day, we will have the opportunity to meet all of you again. Until that day comes, we wish everyone health and peace.

Ryu will now focus on her treatment, hoping for a recovery as soon as possible. We are profoundly grateful for the support and patronage from our customers and the community over the years. Thank you for your warm support and understanding during this time.
