Seeking Japan Made.

From the publisher In conclusion, I do not intend to loudly support a boycott of foreign products. If you have foreign products that are good, I hope you will use them carefully. However, when you shop next time, please consider this: if there are similar products on the shelves, people tend to pick the cheaper one. Of course, it's fine to buy what suits you, but if you are tempted by the price and are indifferent about which one to choose, please check the back and confirm the country of origin. Shopping is a form of voting. Those not chosen will simply leave the shelves. Once a company or technology goes under, it cannot be revived. After Japanese companies are eliminated, products that should have been cheap will become very expensive. The benefits of purchasing Japanese-made products are, in a sense, the salaries of our fathers, brothers, mothers, sons, and daughters, supporting our hometowns. This is because it shapes the future of our children. It has been five years since I started this series. Now, it has progressed further, and it is noticeable that even in Japanese nationality companies, the managers are Chinese and the workers are Japanese. We have reached a situation where foreigners build factories in Japan, do precise work, and use diligent, accident-free Japanese workers at low costs. This is an evolved form of "pseudo-Japanese products." In recent years, the movement for foreign capital to acquire Japan's manufacturing industry, which is losing its strength, by inserting Japanese people in between has accelerated. Protecting Japanese-made products is not only about the economy but also about protecting the country in a broader sense and the lives of Japanese people. We must not let the name of Japan as a technological nation become a relic of the distant past. Japanese people are fundamentally a nation of enthusiasts. We are suited for processing, hands-on work, research, and mastery. I believe there is no other nation as suited for technological development and manufacturing as the Japanese. Isn't the world seeking unique Japanese products created by such Japanese people? The true quality of Japanese-made products is something you understand after using them for ten years, characterized by strong and robust technological capabilities and the heartfelt intention to create for the user. I sincerely hope that an environment that allows for such manufacturing continues to be preserved. Japanese people are a nation that creates paths wherever they go. If we take away manufacturing from Japan, it will no longer be Japan. This has been a painful realization over the past three years.
