The program explores the life and achievements of "Mie's notable figures" who have shaped Japan's history. It delves into the story of Mitsui Takatoshi, the founder of the Mitsui family, who was born in what is now Mie Prefecture's Matsusaka City. At the age of 14, Takatoshi moved to Edo and worked at his brother's clothing store, but was not recognized and returned to Matsusaka. He then saved money through financial activities and later opened his own clothing business in Edo after his brother's death. The program examines Takatoshi's innovative business methods, including "low-profit, high-volume sales" and "cash-only sales," which allowed him to build a vast fortune and greatly influence the commercial world. The show features guests such as actor Fujioka Hiroshi, historian Kadokoro Tsuyoshi, and researcher Shimomuki Norihiko, with narration by Yamazaki Rena and music by Suzuki Yūko. #MiePrefecture #MitsuiFamily #JapaneseHistory #InnovativeBusiness #Entrepreneurship #MatsusakaCity #JapaneseCulture #BusinessLeadership
