On the evening of the 17th, Takimoto and his mother visited the Yamanashi Prefectural Office and handed two cardboard boxes containing about 600 masks to Governor Nagasaki.
The governor, Nagasaki, said, "I was really surprised and very impressed. I thank everyone on behalf of Yamanashi Prefecture," and promised to distribute masks to nursing homes and orphanages. .
Mr. Takimoto said, "I'm not good at sewing and I don't make much, but this time I wanted to be helpful to you and made my best. I hope that you can get to it sooner."
