I kept this loosely-translated list of business principles from an NHK doc about thousand-plus-year-old companies in Kyoto.
- Honesty is a matter of course
- Make no sacrifice
- Examine quality
- Draw customers without words
- Do not allow your products to be defiled
- Purify yourself
- Do not overcharge
- Sell authentic items at suitable prices
I know this list may sound silly and melodramatic to some ears, but I think people should try harder to listen to lessons from the past—even if the provenance is slightly dubious.
