Kazuhisa leaves home and starts looking for a job.

With a strong desire to learn more deeply about the culture and history of clothing, I visited various companies involved in fashion.

While some companies turn him away, he starts working at a small apparel company that sells fashion accessories such as socks and belts.

After joining the company, Kazuhisa immediately started working in sales.

I spent many days accompanying the president from morning until night.

Everything I see is my first time.

With excitement, I wrote down important things in my notebook and learned by watching and imitating.

Although it was a small company, seeing the president who generously taught me a lot of things made me feel warm and filled with passion for working.

I felt a deeper appreciation for "work" and my passion for fashion accelerated day by day.

Despite my feelings, there are days when I don't see any results.
“I’m conveying so much enthusiasm, so why?”
It was the first time I felt frustrated.


One night.
The company president, who had seen Kazuhisa up close, said this to him as soon as he returned from his office.

“One thing you own can change your life.”

Kazuhisa couldn't hide his confusion at the sudden words.
The president handed over the bag on the spot.

It's a high-quality trunk case.

At that time, computers were not yet widespread.
The structure allows for quick access to documents, pencil cases, measuring tapes, samples, and other props needed at the business location, allowing for immediate presentations.
Furthermore, I understood that this bag can cover a wide range of business situations, as it can store a simple change of clothes and business trip items.

The trunk case that the president handed out was worth 150,000 yen at the time.
Kazuhisa, who has just joined the company, has a salary of 28,000 yen.

Life after leaving home was difficult, and I was confused by the items I could never afford.

“Is it really possible that one thing you own can change your life?”

Moreover, the president says:

``Learning is what you do at your own expense.'' In that learning, you can find ``belief''.''

Kazuhisa, who had a strong inquisitive mind, honestly wanted to know what this learning was all about.

And, ``I can't treat the president's thoughts maliciously because he teaches me so many things.''

Because of this strong desire, I jumped off the stage at Shimizu and acquired a bag worth about seven times my salary in monthly installments.

One year after I started using that bag.
I felt that my sales results were gradually improving.

By acquiring one “good thing”,
Which jacket matches this bag?
What belt fits this bag?
Which shoes go with this bag?
Which watch matches this bag?

By wearing one good thing, Kazuhisa began to pay attention to other things as well.
"Learning" is born by investigating the background of each thing.
I was fascinated by the joy of learning and the joy of coordinating.

"I see. Is that so?"

This trunk case is designed with the user in mind.

Who?

where.

For what?

The designs necessary for these purposes have been carefully thought out and created.

What I lacked until now.

Kazuhisa realized that he had been looking at things simply because the designs were cool or trendy, and he felt like he had touched the core of "manufacturing" a little bit.

There is a “background” to manufacturing.

And that there are ``principles'' that depend on the background.

A year ago, Kazuhisa had doubts about the president's words, but his thoughts have changed 180 degrees.
“One thing you have can change your life”
The feeling was as if a personality was being formed.

brought me richness
An encounter with a single bag.

It was a "fateful" encounter.
