Management Philosophy
After all, the power of each person is limited.
I learned that people with people, organizations with organizations, and companies with other companies are connected and rubbed together to create new powers and things.
The words of one of famous designer I admire,
"Japan is small, but strong!"
This words was used for many years after the end of World War II, when the designer returned to his place of origin, the things which he had done was making a pan to cock from scrap of warships . It was his starting of designing. It seems that it is a words that he beloved until I was awarded a wonderful achievement. As a Japanese, it was a very powerful words that I kept always in my life. It is my very important words.
I think that Japanese technology can still demonstrate its abilities toward the world, and I would like to propose to support anyone who wish to enhance the performance to the world.
