Koeisha 100years history

My predecessor resigned in September of last year, so I asked Hello Work for a job as a technician. The company president created this because it was recommended that it be registered in A-4 size so that the company and products can be identified separately from the application form. In January of this year, the company president suggested that I enroll in mechanical engineering or electrical engineering at a technical high school as part of my academic background, so I did so. Then, in February, I received an inquiry asking if I would be available for an interview with a general education graduate who had been working on machine maintenance for 19 years. Of course, I replied that it was OK, and he immediately came for an interview. After getting a job, I interviewed based on my track record of working for a company for 19 years. That person was Satoshi Takenaka, and he was hired after an interview with factory manager Goto. Encounter with grouper lactic acid bacteria For 106 years, spanning four generations, we have been working on manufacturing tools related to dental health. Two and a half years ago, I happened to do an internet search and found out that Seikenkai, a general incorporated foundation at a hospital in my hometown of Kawachinagano City, is known for grouper lactic acid bacteria. I learned that there is a deep connection and that it is extremely effective against periodontal disease bacteria, so I tested it. There, I realized its effectiveness and became convinced that it could overcome the threat of periodontal disease, so I turned it into a business. I would like to patiently explain it through word of mouth and spread the word little by little. Our company plans new products that are useful for teeth, We have been manufacturing products using the same process: applying for a patent, developing a machine to make it in-house, and mass-producing it. So this is my first time selling someone's patented product. I learned from patent documents that grouper lactic acid bacteria are extremely effective against harmful periodontal disease bacteria. I actually used it myself and found it to be effective, so I would like to disseminate it widely. As someone who has been using it for two and a half years, I feel that my intestinal health has improved and my immunity has increased. Bioactivated lactic acid bacteria preparation [Patent No. 4661593] ① What is periodontal disease? (Quoted from patent specification 0004) Periodontal disease, which is said to affect 80% of adults, affects the surrounding tissues that support teeth, including the gingiva, cementum, periodontal ligament, It is a disease in which the alveolar bone etc. become inflamed and gradually disintegrate, and the cause is the periodontal tissue, especially the grooves between the teeth and gums. This is caused by bacteria that settle in and form plaque.The toxins and enzymes produced by these bacteria first cause local inflammation of the gums. That is, it manifests as gingivitis, which progresses to form periodontal pockets, where plaque grows and periodontitis develops. of symptoms As the disease progresses, the pockets become deeper and wider, and the inflammation spreads to the roots of the teeth, leading to their gradual destruction and tooth loss. ② Wish for a long and healthy life (quoted from [0021] in the patent specification) With the advent of a society where people live longer lives, experts have begun to understand the deep relationship between teeth and physical health. Gradually, it has become clearer that teeth do not only have a simple occlusal function, but also act on the life center itself, and can help prevent blurred vision, cancer, stroke, and heart disease. It is said that treating bad teeth can improve mental and physical function, prevent aging, and improve the sense of bliss in life. My consciousness has awakened. Loss of teeth, cavities, and the implantation of incomplete artificial materials to repair these teeth will continue to exist in living organisms. It can cause a stress response. ●Consultation on commercialization of grouper lactic acid bacteria ① When I talked to President Seida, a dental hygienist in Toyama, about Hata Lactic Acid Bacteria, he immediately asked me to contact him for sales. An order was placed by Select Co., Ltd., and a fellow dental hygienist was instructed to confirm its effectiveness. He tried it himself, was surprised by its efficacy, and agreed to develop our business. I have known Mr. Seida for 30 years. At three local nursing homes (total capacity for 1,000 people) When asked for oral care, I mainly clean the tongue with the tongue cleaner we make once a week together with other staff members. It has been. As a result, we have set a record of zero cases of influenza and zero cases of aspiration pneumonia for five years. This continues even now. ② We have been dealing with periodontal disease prevention for many years, and our sales channel is the health insurance association in Tokyo. I talked to President Ashida about this patent and asked him if I wanted to spread the word about grouper lactic acid bacteria. “As stated in the patent paper, there is no doubt that it is effective against periodontal disease, but the approach I think it is necessary as a business model to be able to systematize it to some extent and publicly demonstrate it." I received it. So we decided to create a pamphlet and suggest easy ways to use it. ●It may be a simple thing, but by spreading the word of mouth about the benefits of grouper lactic acid bacteria, as many people as possible can be freed from the suffering of periodontal disease. I hope so. As we live in a society where people live longer, we are keenly aware of the importance of teeth. I am convinced that it is also a fight against periodontal disease, so I believe that this encounter with grouper lactic acid bacteria is a fateful one. I feel it. I believe that periodontal disease is the enemy of a longevity society, so I want as many people as possible to enjoy a comfortable retirement. We hope that you will be able to live your entire life with your own teeth using this grouper lactic acid bacteria. April 22nd: Fujiko Inaba, the wife of the chairman who supported the company by being in charge of accounting for a long time, passed away. He has been diagnosed with non-tuberculous mycobacterial disease and has been examined once a year for many years at the national Osaka Minami Medical Center.He has no other illnesses and is in good health, taking the bus in the morning and walking the 2 km route home. I was frightening the people around me. It started when she developed a cold in March, and she was hospitalized for about a month, but she developed pneumonia. While she was in the hospital, she said that in a conversation with a nurse, she recalled fond memories of traveling around the world with her friends and her niece. Also, when my two younger sisters went to visit, they talked happily about their hobby of bird watching and that they could see all kinds of birds from the window, pretending to fly with both hands. From the 23rd to the 27th, we laid her body on the bed and had a time to say goodbye to those who visited us. First of all, everyone from the company came, including Mr. Goto, the factory manager. In addition, people who retired 2-3 years ago and people who were laid off 15 years ago were also contacted and gathered together. These people said things like, ``They helped me during a difficult time,'' and ``They invited us all to a fun meal.'' I was told that they were paying close attention to their employees without me even realizing it. She served the founder Yutaro Inaba, the second generation Shigeru (my father), the third generation me (Osamu), and the current fourth generation (Yukinobu). She learned that there was such hidden consideration behind the company's longevity, and she was humbled. Mr. and Mrs. Mitobe, who are close friends with my wife, and Mr. and Mrs. Nakamura, who have been my friends since first grade in elementary school. My friends from the neighborhood, Mr. Sawada and Mr. Minami. Ms. Matsukawa, the tea teacher she was learning from, three friends, and her younger sister, Yumi Ogami, from Nagoya. Mr. Sasaki from church, Mr. Tanaka, a close friend of Dai-ichi Life, and Mr. Shirahama, a former employee, came to say goodbye. A wake (prayer meeting in front of the government) will be held by Pastor Fujii from 7 o'clock on Friday the 26th, attended only by relatives. Funeral held by Pastor Fujii at 1:00 pm on the 28th (Saturday) at Japan Christian Association Kongo Church. The synagogue was full. It was a good funeral. Mr. and Mrs. Hiroshi Kitayama, who designed this hall from Chiba, as well as Mr. Ohira and Mr. Tsutsui, will be in attendance. April 30th: Mr. Takenaka, the engineer, received a report that the improvement of the cap insertion machine for interdental brushes, which was his first task, was completed. I'm glad that I have high expectations. I am looking forward to Factory Manager Goto's next instructions. May 1st: Mr. Takenaka of the Engineering Department has finished improving the automatic machine for inserting caps on interdental brushes as ordered by factory manager Goto, and his new job is maintaining the machine for producing interdental toothpicks (Doctor Pick). This is a tool that removes stains from the necks of teeth by shaving the tip of a round shaft made of white birch into a triangular shape that matches the shape of the space between the teeth, and then shaving the other side flat. The world's first dental pick. Awareness of the effectiveness of our "tooth peeling sponge" in removing stains from teeth is spreading. Recently, we have received more orders from Southeast Asian countries. As they become more affluent, they are probably starting to worry about stains on their teeth. In addition, I think they have come to understand that it is safe and easy to remove stains from teeth. It has also become more widely used in China. I think a big factor is that people have realized that it does not damage teeth. I think inbound customers have bought it and experienced its effectiveness. In July, we launched a new "gut massage" brush. Its smooth feel has been well received. In the end of October, Shohei Otani, president of Otani Trading Toothpicks Co., Ltd., passed away. He was 87 years old. In 1924, the company's founder, Yutaro Inaba, tried to produce toothpicks by buying machinery from America, but found it impossible to mass-produce them with that machinery. He consulted with Otani's father, who was very helpful in making a flat toothpick punching machine. Since then, the relationship between the two companies has continued as sister companies. Together, they visited overseas customers many times. They maintained long-lasting good relationships with HB Ice Cream Co. in Ireland, customers in Kuwait, and Penny and Jack in Australia. We are deeply grateful for this long-lasting good relationship.

All the filaments of the flocked toothbrush are fixed with metal pieces of brass or aluminum. Therefore, the toothbrush after use is burned. It is incinerated without being collected as a recycled product. Therefore, it cannot be recycled and is incinerated. As environmental problems become more serious, recycling is only a small part of it because of metals. Toshifumi Takeuchi came up with a method of fixing with plastic synthetic products and filed a patent application on January 4th 2023 T－7. In order to make widespread use of this patent, we signed a contract as follows. 　Non-exclusive license agreement (early term/discount agreement) The following agreement has been concluded between Toshifumi Takeuchi (hereinafter referred to as Party A) and Koeisha Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Party B). Article 1 (Purpose) 　　　· Party A will sell the invention "metal-free flocked toothbrush" described below to the toothbrush industry. 　　　　A request was made to B, who was well versed in the matter, and B undertook this. 　　　·Name of the invention "Metal-free flocked toothbrush" ・Inventor Address: 6-3 Kamishijo-cho, Higashi-Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture 　　　　　　　　Name Toshifumi Takeuchi ( Personal) Article 2 (Price) Article 1.

When I visited and told them the synopsis, they were very pleased, so I would like to recommend this story beforehand. Our business partner, Taisei Plus, is enthusiastic about research, so when I talked about the flat line, I was enthusiastic and sent the flat line that Takahashi Taira brought to me. Since he has experience with plastics, he needs this mold, so for the time being, he is thinking of making a thin and long strip sample of about 20 cm, and then give it to Sunstar for trial production. On January 12th, Toru Takahashi, president of Takahashi Heisen Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which has been manufacturing flat wires, which are fixators for toothbrush bristles, for two generations, visited our company. Explained the situation. On January 13th, there was a Levi interview on J-com's "Toothpick Library", and the mayor was also visited, and he was excited to see a toothpick from BC. On February 21, designer Ishii and his colleague Mr. Hino from Tokyo visited the company. The wooden transport ring used by the founder in the early Shouwa period (1927)to create a round toothpick made of birch． They donated the unique and wonderful display stand that was used.(Upper photo is display.lower is wooden basement) Through the introduction of Mr. Ishii, who liked the triangular toothpicks in March, Mr. Ohara of EO Hikari and Mr. Oshima, president of Alex Film Company, visited us, showed us around the materials room, and later conducted a television interview. I've attached the image "Switch" below. The product image was registered with J-GoodTeck, a web site operated by the SME Organization, an affiliated organization of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, for small and medium-sized enterprises. Five types of tooth peeling sponges, tongue cleaners, backfit toothbrushes, plaque staining tablets, and mirrors were registered in Japanese and English. I also posted a video on the peeling sponge and tongue cleaner. The reason for this was to convey the importance of oral care to people in Asia, as orders for dyed tablets came from Taiwan. In April, I was interviewed by the Nikkei newspaper evening edition. The person who came was Mr. Enomoto Deputy Director. He was from Nosaku-cho (a neighboring village) in Kawachinagano, and remembers coming to the "Tsumayoji Reference Room" when he was in the third grade of elementary school. He usually proofreads articles written by young reporters, but this time he was nostalgic and covered it himself. He is very enthusiastic and sharp. It conveys a strong sense of local love. In addition to the newspaper article, we were also interviewed by TV in cooperation with Television Osaka, which is affiliated with the same company, and that they will be broadcasting "Easy News" from 16:30 on the day of publication of the evening edition. Where are the triangular toothpicks sold after the broadcast? We received a lot of inquiries, and we were surprised at the reaction on TV. It was the first time that both newspapers and television reported on what we were doing. In response to Mr. Watanabe's request to visit Sunstar, I took him to Mr. Takeuchi's house on July 17th. Mr. Takeuchi cannot understand that he cannot say that he will do something because he is a member of a large organization. On July 31st, he asked Mr. and Mrs. Namba to film an explanation of the metal-free toothbrush. He humbly explained that he was just lucky that such a large patent happened to be left at that time. I mailed the DVD made by Mr. Namba to Mr. Takeuchi. When I visited on August 10, I was tearfully sued to buy both the metal-free toothbrush patent and the metal-free brushes that were issued for all brushes other than toothbrushes issued after that for 10 million yen. seems that he realized that he It seems that he realized that he was close to death and wanted to leave a large amount of money. He said the toothbrush industry is "price over environment" and will wait 20 years for patents to expire. On the other hand, it seems difficult to make the resin flat wire that Taisei Plus is requesting. On August 14, I issued a written refusal of his purchase request. The resin flat wire requested to Taisei Plus on August 17th seems to be difficult, so I asked him to put it on hold. Shunsuke Yamaguchi, who joined the company three years ago, left the company at the end of August due to the worsening health of Miyazaki's mother. With a peeling sponge and improvements to my three-wheeled commuting bicycle He contributed. Our president sent out an application to Hello Work to register a computer, but was advised to send out a company PR flyer, which the company president created and posted. A large order for mirrors has been received from the health insurance association. Fortunately, 　our boss ordered 100,000 units when he heard about mirrors last year. Use this to work The remaining items are scheduled to arrive in mid-September. We believe that the fact that the mirror has dyed tablets allows for differentiation has been appreciated. This summer was especially hot, but everyone worked hard, so the president is planning to give out a special bonus just for this year.

President Tanaka of Asahi Planning introduced us a wholesale company that print huge leaflets. He connected to Palcorp in Osaka, Kyushu Corp, Sunnet in Tohoku, and Corp Sapporo. Mrs. Seida suggested a tongue muscle trainer with 5 protrusions on the back of the tongue cleaner, so we made it using an old mold. We also applied for a patent. They are planning to sell it at sports gyms, TV shopping, online, etc. as a tool to prevent oral frailty (weakness) of elderly people who are not for the elderly but are still healthy. I found a dissertation (nano ceramic) by Professor Maekawa of Osaka City University by searching the internet. I consulted with Mr.I Takeuchi, a former part-time lecturer of the Faculty of Engineering, and signed a contract. we will a sample and asked Mr. T.Miyata to test it. There was an order for the electric part of the tooth whitening brush from Donkey, and Mr. Higuchi made a good sample. At the import stage, the corona has spread in China, and China's "zero corona" policy has made it impossible for workers to move and transport. On the other hand there is a proposal for a Chinese toothbrush company to sell a tooth stain cleaner with both the brand of the other party and our cleardent trough Mr. Higuchi. Therefore we consulted with Kao which has a cleardent brand in China, they will sell us at the value of 400,000 yen and we are proceeding with the transfer of rights. There was an offer to sell the tongue cleaner with gel attached trough Amazon. When we replied that it would be supplied as a component, we are asked to undergo a sustainability examination of Sedex throughout the manufacturing process, and we prepared enough for the examination on 31 of march. As a result, 10 items are requested to be corrected in 90 days and we are trying to solve them one by one. Mr. Shinobu Ukihara published "Toothpick study" and sent us 100 books, so when I sent it to each direction, I got a very good response from many categories. Mr. S,Tanabe and Mr. T.Kumagai of Yomeishu Wine Brewery Co., Ltd. (400 years history) visited our company and were very pleased to see our toothpick gallery .They presented us Yomeishu wine, Kuromoji candy, etc. They are kept in the gellery as important documents. It is said that 40% of Yomeishu is Kuromoji, and 100 tons of kuromoji branches are collected annually in Aomori, Iwate, and Niigata prefecture, and Kuromoji is effective against influenza virus, so candy is made. I also joined the Kuromoji Study Group, it has about 50 members. Mr. Seita's tongue muscle trainer's patent application has been rejected. The reason is a large electric motor with a prior patent in the United States. Mr. T.Takeuchi tryed to overturn these one by one and wrote a counterargument. S.Yamaguchi of technology works has completed the machinery in automatic supply of melamine. As one of the guidance of the examination result, the handrail on the second floor in front of the office was completed by Daitomi construction company in result the safety was improved. There was an order from Donkey for the electric part of the tooth whitening brush, and Mr. Higuchi made a good sample. At the import stage, the corona has spread in China, and China's "zero corona" policy has made it impossible for workers to move and transport. There is a proposal for a Chinese toothbrush company to sell a tooth stain cleaner with both the brand of the other party and our clear dent at the edge of Mr. Higuchi. Therefore, if you consult with Kao, which has a clear dent brand in China, they will sell it, and we are proceeding with the transfer of rights. Transfer completed in April. Class 21 (toothbrush, electric toothbrush, cosmetic tool) Registration number 809769/January 21, 1996 Culture Day newspaper published the award of the Order of the Rising Sun. I couldn't go to the Imperial Palace due to Corona, but the transmission ceremony was held at the city hall and the mayor's office.
