The book published 5 years ago “高学歴大工集団 (Super educated carpenters)” was subsequently translated into Korean as “Company that doesn’t fire employees”.

 

Korean companies are very enthusiastic to learning, and we have had number of visitors and business proposals from Korea since the book was translated.

 

Mr Cho, CEO of a Korean construction company visited our company to meet Akimoto.

 

Mr Cho founded his company in 2001 and his company has steadily grown till today, backed by Akimoto’s business philosophy.

 

Mr Cho is a great fan of Akimoto’s book, and bought 50 books for his employees to read.

Akimoto happily signs his autograph.

 

Mr Kim, is an officer at the Ministry of Interior, and secretariat to the President of Korea.

He is also a student at Waseda University studying about “Compact city in Japan”.

Mr Kim made all the arrangements for this visit and attended as a translator.

During the company tour, Mr Kim offers one of our Urushi Laquer Meister double the salary to work for Mr Cho’s company.

Always inspiring to have visitors from abroad.

Mr Cho has prepared a special banner for this occasion;

To our friendship.
