		Hanako also has to make arrangements for giving chugen to people she wants to maintain good relations with such as providers who offered better deals when they had no reason to, neighbours who bought things from their shop, customers who made large investments in their business, and all her kin and most neighbours.
		Her chugen shopping is her means to create a sphere of relations of obligation that give faces, feelings and moral attributes to individuals who would be faceless and market-led.
