Shibusawa Eichi Jiden Shibusawa Eichi Denki Shiriyo Seien Kaikoroku Amayogatari Seien Aofuchi Kaiko Roku <Shiyo> Kadokawa Sofuia Bunko G-104-3 (Kadokawa Sofuia Bunko)

[Machine Translation] The economy needs to be based on justice and promoted in a reasonable manner. Eiichi Shibusawa, known as the "father of modern Japanese capitalism," was a pioneering entrepreneur who admonished the competition between the weak and strong for self-interest and devoted himself to social programs such as education, welfare, and diplomacy. The film tells the story of how this young farmer who sympathized with the idea of "reverence for the emperor and expulsion of the barbarians" found his way into the business world through a series of bizarre careers as a shogunate minister and as a high-ranking official in the new government. Two autobiographies, each with an echo of his own voice, bring to light the real picture of this young man.
