The Delight Factory

I left the UK around the time the announcement to ban smoking in enclosed public spaces was made. Despite an expectation that Japan would have a differing stance, I was astonished to see the national volleyball team sporting the logo of a tobacco company. That has got to surpass McDonalds and Coca-Cola at the Olympics. Most developed countries have laws to prevent sports tobacco advertising. Why is Japan different? Well, the Ministry of Finance still retains a 50% stake in the diversifying corporation. Despite the poison dumplings Japan Tobacco is a model company.

At JT, we want to make society and people’s lifestyles more relaxed and more abundant. We want to go on creating unique delight that only JT can offer.

A great deal of money has been invested to offer the smoker clever behavioural pointers. It is called “Smokers Style” part of their Manners campaign. Whatever the underlying reason, I certainly welcome it. Here’s a few graphics off their website that make up the stickers, posters, adverts etc.

Message from a frying pan

Written by: adekun on 6 October, 2006 10:31 am - Filed under: blog — 2 Comments »

In Japan there is a whole plethora of amusing english mistakes. I could spend plenty of time uploading photos, but there are  already some good sources out there.

Anyway, I shall probably add a few special ones from time to time. Here’s my mother-in-law’s newest frying pan. It’s only a couple of months old, so thought I’d get this up before she burns the paint off.

Bon Appetit!
