Yohei Izutsu is a prolific Japanese entrepreneur who is vibrant and creative and has a passion for breaking the standard mold of the Japanese business scene. He offered students a unique perspective in his creative thought process and regaled the group with many stories and artifacts from his successful career. \u00a0\u00a0The visits to his textiles factories showed the design and creation of beautiful fabrics that are used for Japanese Buddhist priest robes and shrine decorations.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1588\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/japan-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1136\" height=\"852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/japan-2.jpg 1136w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/japan-2-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/japan-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/japan-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/japan-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1136px) 100vw, 1136px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1589\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/japan-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3264\" height=\"2448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/japan-4.jpg 3264w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/japan-4-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/japan-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/japan-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/japan-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3264px) 100vw, 3264px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the afternoon, the Darden students visited the Kyocera Inamori Library, where they learned about the founder of Kyocera, Kazuo Inamori, the history of Kyocera, a leading multinational electronics and ceramics manufacturer, and the development of Inamori\u2019s business administration method, amoeba management. The students appreciated the opportunity to learn about a company that has run a profit since its founding over 40 years ago, a testament to its successful management philosophy: Respect the Divine and Love People.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1590\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Inamori-Library.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"852\" height=\"1136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Inamori-Library.jpg 852w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Inamori-Library-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Inamori-Library-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Inamori-Library-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 3:\u00a0 <\/strong>In the morning, we visited the Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics (KCGI), Japan\u2019s first IT professional school, where we heard from the CEO, Professor Wataru Hasegawa, about the landscape of higher education in Japan as well as KCGI\u2019s particular structure, with a focus on eLearning as a vehicle for expansion. We also heard from Professor Hideaki Kashihara on the topic of IT Project Management in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>In the afternoon, we visited Kyoto University, where we ate in their cafeteria and participated in three different engagements. The afternoon was a collaboration between the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan Kansai Chapter, Darden, and Kyoto University. First, we heard from Dr. Motoh Shimizu on Strategic Program Management. Following the presentation, he awarded copies of his books to the first three Darden students to ask questions. Second, we heard from Hidenori \u201cDino\u201d Suzuki, Senior Director of Ticketing of the Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, on the current plan and issues arising in preparation for 2020. He also awarded an Olympic pin to the first Darden student to ask a question, appropriately, Heather Marrison, DSA\u2019s incoming VP for Athletics. Lastly, Professor Will Baber of Kyoto University facilitated a case study role play between small groups of Darden and local students to learn how to work with stakeholders from different cultures with different motivations. Afterwards, the Darden and local students networked with the speakers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1591\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Heather-wins-Olympic-pin.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Heather-wins-Olympic-pin.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Heather-wins-Olympic-pin-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Heather-wins-Olympic-pin-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Heather-wins-Olympic-pin-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Heather-wins-Olympic-pin-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px\" \/><strong>Day 4:<\/strong> Darden students enjoyed a day of cultural visits in Kyoto, including the Fushimi Inari Shrine, Golden Pavilion, Bamboo Forest and Sake Museum tour and tasting.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1592\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Darden-at-Fushimi-Inari-Shrine-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Darden-at-Fushimi-Inari-Shrine-2.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Darden-at-Fushimi-Inari-Shrine-2-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Darden-at-Fushimi-Inari-Shrine-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Darden-at-Fushimi-Inari-Shrine-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Darden-at-Fushimi-Inari-Shrine-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1594\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Darden-at-Fushimi-Inari-Shrine-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Darden-at-Fushimi-Inari-Shrine-3.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Darden-at-Fushimi-Inari-Shrine-3-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Darden-at-Fushimi-Inari-Shrine-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Darden-at-Fushimi-Inari-Shrine-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Darden-at-Fushimi-Inari-Shrine-3-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><strong>Day 5:<\/strong> Today we had our last company visit in Kyoto before transferring to Tokyo.
