As this was an international arts festival, it felt only natural to express ourselves through art. We asked ourselves: what kind of artwork could only Sunco Industries - home to a staggering inventory of over two million items -bring to life? The answer, of course, was something crafted entirely from fasteners. But rather than simply using fasteners to construct a model, we flipped the concept on its head: why not recreate the Grand Roof Ring -the iconic symbol of the Expo -using fasteners themselves? What was the guiding idea behind the Diorama? Fasteners are usually hidden from view, quietly...

| Conversely, what do you think Japanese companies currently lack? Mr. Hashimoto: Some Japanese companies assume they cannot compete with foreign firms on price, but perhaps the real issue is simply a lack of promotion. Although Japan has a large number of fastener manufacturers, I believe that mid-level and younger employees in overseas companies—those working on the front lines—are mostly unaware of this fact. Another challenge is that many Japanese firms lack overseas experience and therefore do not know how to promote themselves effectively. As President Ando mentioned earlier, I think a...
