Abstract
One of your first missions consists in finding a proper distributor able to sell your products – at least some of your ranges of products – in Japan. Your boss thinks Japan could be the right country in which to export your umbrellas. Japanese people are said to have a passion for luxury products, to like perfection in everything, and to associate the French culture and moreover French products with the idea of quality.
You have visited quite a few Japanese fairs in the last few weeks, and a few weeks ago, you have met in Osaka Mr. Yoshizato Akira. He manages a company importing and distributing luxury clothings and accessories, Nihon Paris Import. He distributes them in very posh independent shops in the best districts of Tokyo, Osaka and other big Japanese cities mainly, where rather well-off customers buy their fashion.
