Tim, Joey, Susanna & Mark,
As you may know, the family ties in Japan are very strong. This is an excellent example.
I often wonder WHO managed the business...they could NOT possibly be 40 generations of men only...I wish I could find more details.

I think is cool. I like how the family is able to keep working together and making the business grow. The family must have gone through a lot hard time and good time.

Thats pretty cool. It would apear that someone has some hardcore tenure. I wonder if the next generation of employes is as enthuiastic about working there as the privious, or is a career change on their mind.

thats really neat, i like old buildings because so much history plus maybe the possiblity of a ghost but to have it family owned for so long thats amazing.

It is interesting how the company has held on to the business for 40 generations of family. Its also intersting how each generation would want to continue to take over the business..
