The Origin of our company name
Our founder was impressed by "Fuji No Hohmon"(i.e. Teachings of Buddhism), which Prince Shotoku Taishi also studied, and named Fuji Koki after that profound thought.
"Fuji No Hohmon" is a perspevtive of the world and philosophy, in which two concepts which seem to conflict, such as good and evil, right and wrong, doubt and enlightment, dead and alive etc. can be regarded as related when considered from a higher level viewpoint.
Under the company name signifing ultimate point of Zen (Buddhism), we will conduct our business by establishing policies after determining the "essence" of things.
