Magnificent clouds over Mt. Chokai in Akita Prefecture, Japan.
In earlier days, the farmers and fishermen who lived in small villages here used the clouds to forecast the weather before they went to work.
They likened these clouds to the butterbur sprout flower, the official flower of Akita Prefecture, and believed them to be a sign of rain.
Remembering the blessings of nature, we at ITOCHU Corporation are committed to preserving our precious earth to contribute to society.

The merchant who spoke these words was ITOCHU's founder, Chubei Ito.
A merchant all his life, he steadfastly believed that “The most important thing to do in one's business activities is to be honest - with other people, and most important of all with oneself.”
