On Japanese product standards

When it comes to extraordinary craftsmanship and the unwavering pursuit of perfection, there’s no country on earth that can really compete with Japan. Japanese products have a global reputation for quality, exquisite attention to detail, unique design and the clever fusion of tradition and innovation. From traditional arts like kabuki and tea ceremonies to modern wonders like the Shinkansen high-speed train network and state-of-the-art electronics – all of these reflect a cultural ethos that highly values excellence and precision.
