Yoshimoto Kogyo Chairman Osaki: “A Place to Belong”

The new fiscal year.

I'm sure many of you are filled with anticipation for your new home.

On the other hand, I think there are many people who have lost their sense of belonging—or who are unable to find one—and are plagued by anxiety.

This is a book I’d love to slip quietly into your bag.

There are many people who feel that life is “difficult.”

I just can't seem to get along with people, I can't seem to find my place in society, and I have nowhere to belong—I'm really suffering.

What should I do?

So that each person can make the most of their abilities wherever they are. I want to help build a society like that.

I'm doing what I can to prepare for such an endeavor.

I have a lot on my mind, but…

While discreetly letting the author know…

I’d like to use my actions from here on out as my reflection (*^^*)
