KEYWORD 03: Craftsman The skills and senses of a "craftsman" have been cultivated through years of experience.

As Mr. Sano said, "It is because of the brains and handiwork of the craftsmen." While the factory is well equipped, the skills of the craftsmen who work on site are one of the main attractions of the factory. The finished product is achieved not by relying entirely on machines, but rather on human hands.

. All the work of adjusting the metal fittings, thinning the leather, and inspecting the finished product is all done by hand. If everything were done automatically, it would be inefficient and the finished product would be unsatisfactory. Moreover, cutting and sewing are done by specialized craftsmen, and their skills in handling equipment are improving every day. For example, the load placed on fabrics during sewing varies depending on the fabric, and it is not enough to treat them all the same way. It is only through the skills and senses cultivated by the experience of our craftsmen that satisfactory manufacturing can be achieved.
