'Modern
Nippon Project'
"Japan Brand Online" is one of the
two basic projects, "support for products". INTERFUSION
Inc. thinks, "support for products" and "support
for people" are necessary for backing up export business
of "Japan brand". JBO introduces Japanese
skill and products to overseas and suggests how to expand the
market for the local medium or small sized enterprises that manufacture
and sell traditional or creative goods. The company will soon
open the websites and adapt them to various tastes and ages, such
as "Cool Japan Online" introducing
Japanese popular products targeted for young foreigners and
"Japan Premium Online" dealing with Japanese
high quality goods which are targeted for quality conscious people
with a sophisticated taste. On the other hand, as for "support
for people" project, the company opens "Modern
Nippon Project (http://ModernNipponProject.com)"
at the same time. This project sends out information and operates
networks for the local medium or small sizedenterprises that want
to launch their products on the export market. The contents of
this website include a column interviewing foreigners lived in
Japan and introducing Japanese customs and cultural aspects that
seem to be strange or unique to foreigners. It will be a forum
open to contributors who have opinions on Japanese culture or
history. This site provides a six-language service, English, German,
French, Spanish, Russian and Japanese.
