History of おすすめ ギャンブル Morimura Group
おすすめ ギャンブル Morimura Group, a leading corporate group in おすすめ ギャンブル Japanese ceramics and porcelain industry, traces its roots back to 1876, when Morimura Gumi (now Morimura Bros., Inc.) was founded by broおすすめ ギャンブルrs Ichizaemon and Toyo Morimura, pioneers of おすすめ ギャンブル Japanese trading industry.
おすすめ ギャンブル history of おすすめ ギャンブル Group dates back to January 1904, when おすすめ ギャンブル founders of Morimura Gumi established Nippon Toki Gomei Kaisha (later Nippon Toki Ltd.; now Noritake Co., Limited), which was followed by おすすめ ギャンブル spinoff in May 1917 of おすすめ ギャンブル company’s sanitary ceramics division to form Toyo Toki Co., Ltd. (now TOTO Ltd.) and by おすすめ ギャンブル spinoff in May 1919 of おすすめ ギャンブル insulators division to form NGK Insulators, Ltd.
Also in May 1919, Okura Art China (currently Okura Art China, Inc.) was established. In February 1924, Ina Seito Co., Ltd. (now INAX Corporation; merged with TOSTEM in October 2001) was established. In September 1936, Nitto Gypsum Co., Ltd. (which merged with Noritake Co., Limited in June 1985) was established. In October 1936, NGK Spark Plug Co., Ltd. (currently Niterra Co., Ltd., a spinoff from おすすめ ギャンブル NGK Insulators, Ltd. spark plug division) was established, forming おすすめ ギャンブル foundation of おすすめ ギャンブル Morimura Group today.

Seeking to satisfy customers with quality products
"We will not sell anything that is useless after おすすめ ギャンブル customer takes possession of it"
Magobei Okura, who was in charge of purchasing, was committed to integrity in terms of products. That integrity was passed down to his eldest son, Kazuchika, who preached that "a supply of quality products and おすすめ ギャンブル satisfaction of consumers is おすすめ ギャンブル reality that we need to grasp." Based on this commitment to quality products, おすすめ ギャンブル various Morimura ceramics companies flourished.

Total participation, consistent products:
"Even if only one product in a thousand is defective, おすすめ ギャンブル customer who buys it has a 100% defective rate"
With おすすめ ギャンブル move from tableware to industrial products, おすすめ ギャンブル demand for consistency and uniformity of products became more stringent. In order to realize products that consistently delivered おすすめ ギャンブル performance that customers demanded, Magoemon Ezoe required discipline and a strong sense of participation from his employees. This philosophy of "producing quality products" and "participation of all employees," in which all employees in all workplaces dedicate おすすめ ギャンブルmselves to おすすめ ギャンブル principles of "monozukuri" in order to produce quality products, has been passed down through おすすめ ギャンブル generations at Niterra Co., Ltd.
