Overview

Description

Kenji Miyazawa was a Japanese poet and children's literature author who was born in Tohoku district in 1896. His famous poem “Ame ni mo makezu” expresses that he wanted to be strong under severe circumstances without being self-serving. The poem is quoted often as ideal way of being of Japanese.

Although the work of a security guard appears to involve idling the time away, it is hard work keeping alert at every moment of every day.

We chose this poem to encourage the workers involved in the security team. Real employees appear in this commercial without dramatization.
