Building a better working world
"I provide advice to a wide range of infrastructure industries and help build a better working world by broadly supporting the export of Japanese infrastructure to other parts of the world.
In a personal capacity, as the director of an incorporated educational institution with a kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and high school, I’m also involved in the education of children. They are the torch bearers of the next generation. The schools are designed to put children first and build the foundations of a great future, by enabling them to fully develop their diverse talents and excel in a wide range of fields."
