Otsuka Kagu Ltd. President Kumiko Otsuka said she wants to seek a reconciliation with her father after their feud hurt the furniture retailer's brand image.
"Although our opinions regarding how to manage a listed company differed, I think I share with my father the same value of providing quality furniture that can be loved and used for a long time," Otsuka said Monday. "I believe one day he will also understand that we do share this."
Her comments at a news conference in Tokyo came as Otsuka Kagu, a well-known furniture store operator, is trying to revive its troubled business by forming alliances with other companies at home and abroad.
