I posted my resolution on the wall when I got my first 50 square meter factory in Inabu, Nankoku City.

I wrote, "Right now it's a small company, but I will work diligently to make it one that helps my family, my region, Kochi Prefecture, Japan, the World, and God." I wrote another when I transferred my factory to Gohoku from Inabu.

"We will become the beacon of hope of this village."

After 30 years since our establishment, I think about whether we have become a useful company, or if we have become a beacon of hope.
"Not quite yet."
I think we need to become a company that is even more helpful.

I wrote once more, last year: "We will grow with our region, and aim to become a company that lasts 100 years".
Mysteriously, I have a feeling that, if you write your goals on paper, put it on your wall, and look at it every day, it will become a reality.

Words are said to have souls which are often called "Kotodama"; over the past 30 years, I have felt that this is the truth.

I am now 60 years old, and there will come a time in a few years that I will pass the baton on to the next generation and pray that it will continue for 100 years, but what will make everyone happy and create a company that makes one think "I am happy that this company exists" is the knowledge and spirit of each and every one of you.
