They are committed to producing their goods based on the idea that it should be functioning as a part of human body and it should have the appearance of a living organism, to help people who have lost their natural function because of diseases or injury. Also, they customize their product to suit each individual. Although the population of their town is only 500, they are working hard to place Iwami Ginzan on the world heritage trail with the cultural support and power of local people, and reviving traditions for the benefit of the world. The reason for their certificate is that, for each client, they start with direct consultation, product planning, product design followed by maintenance, and they have a cultural capital of hospitality to provide lifelong private support. It is more than just a medical product. They strive to re-create the pleasure of life to their customers. At the same time, they are attempting to include the uniqueness of ‘specific location’ all over the world, using materials and techniques that are available to each culture, combined with cutting edge technology. For example, in the Philippines, they introduced a system of local people making and maintaining artificial limbs by them selves using bamboo, to help people who are suffering from poverty and disease.
