"In 1986, Yokoishi was sitting in a Japanese restaurant when he spotted customers taking home the decorative leaves that garnished their food. As a mountain town, Kamikatsu was certainly not short of leaves, and he wondered if they could become a new product."
"In 1999, Yokoishi founded a company called Irodori to manage the leaf business."
"...the elderly farmers...adjusted to using PCs...to track orders, manage inventory..."
