In an industry where the aging of craftsmen is a serious problem, we have craftsmen of all ages, from their 20s to their 70s. In the early 2000s, we predicted that a shortage of craftsmen would be inevitable in the future, and we sought to recruit and train young craftsmen. In the beginning, the retention rate was low because we could not teach or support new employees after hiring, but once we incorporated a “brother system”, in which senior employees take new employees under their wings, the retention rate increased and technical improvement became faster. All of our craftsmen are working towards obtaining the Class-1 Joiner Technician Certificate, and three Class-1 technicians are teaching junior craftsmen. In addition, since the days when shoji screens were mass-produced, women have been actively employed to work on NC machine tools. Today, a time when high-mix low-volume production is in demand, women are also expanding their work areas to become multi-skilled craftsmen, and female artisans are being born. Young aspiring craftsmen who join our company because they are attracted to our own brand of shoji screens, "KITOTE," are taught not by the old-fashioned "see and steal" method, but by explaining things clearly in words and showing numerical values as much as possible to deepen their understanding and increase their technical skills. Since we have many clients and receive custom-orders in a wide range of genres, there are few monotonous tasks, and we work in an environment where we are constantly learning.
