"Return! To Taiwan / Seimi Yamamoto"

May of this year【SOU・SOU in Taiwa】Just 5 months after ...
No way, I'm blessed with the opportunity to revisit so quickly!
So I went to Taiwan again.
Moreover, this time I travel alone (business trip)! !

Say a mission ...


I visited Yilan about an hour by car from Taipei.
One of Taiwan's best resorts by the sea.


In fact, from Yilan, Taiwan ’s National Tourism Bureau,
"Would you like to talk about SOU・SOU manufacturing as a business model that utilizes traditional industries with the power of design?"

I felt like I was a big hero, but I was dizzy.
I should just talk about the concept of SOU・SOU and the work I am working hard everyday ...
To come belly.
▲ The venue is a place where a building that was originally a paper mill was renovated

The forum will feature six speakers over a two-day period. What! I was a top batter ... (sweat)

SOU・SOU brand history and product introduction,
And what kind of indicators are you working on every day?
I talked about 100 audiences in front of me for about an hour.

▲ Everyone listens with headphones with simultaneous interpretation!

▲ SOU・SOU introduction page of the pamphlet distributed at the venue

Finally, the speakers and the moderator of the day
There was also a time for questions and answers with the audience.

▲ The translator is sitting next to you. Thankfully I was able to communicate in Japanese.


・ What was the most difficult episode you have worked on?
・ What is important in the online shop business?
• Are Japanese young people interested in traditional culture?
・ What kind of human resources and jobs do you think will be required in Era future?
·····etc!
It was a heated time with many questions.

▲ Finally, everyone at the venue took a photo!

Needless to say, it was a series of tensions
Now that everything is over, I am full of gratitude.

Mr. Li Munzhen who invited me to this lecture.
Split Toe Tabi Sneaker LOW BlackWas wearing!

We have been communicating via e-mail and Skype meeting for more than two months, and the response was very polite, and we supported me while I was in the field.

This was another wonderful time immersed in the kindness of Taiwanese people.

After returning home, “The forum was a great success. Mr. Yamamoto's lecture was highly appreciated! ]
I received a message.
I'm relieved, but there are still some points to reflect, and I want to make use of it in the future.

The Taiwanese government said, “It is very important to make the best use of our country's traditional technology and pass it on to future generations.
I want to tell a lot of people through this forum. "
I am delighted to have named such a small brand in Kyoto in such a forum.

I will continue to work hard on the concept of SOU・SOU style [Creating a new Japanese culture].
