Introduce Myself

I would like to talk little be about myself.
My name is ICHIRO. I am 39years old and was born and raised in a little small town in Fukuoka, Japan. I am charge of the Director of West Management.

When I met this business long time ago and since then I have special feeling that I care about when I buy a thing either I can use for long time or not in order to save natural resource.

I think Japanese philosiohy is very unique compare other country.
We have been told that evey little item has life called "Tamashii"
and we've got to appreciate that we have them. That's reason why many Japanease people say "Mottai nai" translate in English is "what a waste!" all the time.

Our country is very small and surrounded by oean, but we have been succeed because of the unique spirit,

By using the sprite, we will provide the thing that people think wonderful or excellent to make them feel great! That's our goal.

I am really fortunate that I've been traveling since 11 years old.
Since then, I have been to 32 countury for pleasure, studying and
business.
