Toshiharu Kohara, the then managing director, was showing the visitors around the office, factory and warehouse of Kohara Gear, Kawaguchi in 1999. The factory was getting timeworn after being used for nearly fifty years. There was a leak in the ceiling. The company cafeteria was rather small. A weekly meeting at lunch time by the managing members had been held. We still follow this way of meeting even today.
