Midori Auto Leather respects this analogy, and proudly uses only the most essential materials in the manufacture of products that truly enrich people's lives, without impacting our limited natural resources.

At the foundation of all our various products is our corporation's concept of "Applying Science to Natural Materials". Exceptional Design - Allying scientific methodology with artistic license to enhance people's lives and preserve our natural resources I think we should avoid saying 'utilize our limited natural resources ' anywhere even if it is in the most effective way, because limited natural resources should not be used at all, really. It sounds more positive to just say 'without impacting our limited natural resources '. I'm not sure how true this is, but it certainly sounds better than implying that the company is using natural resources.
2 2 The design concept of Midori Auto leather is based on a style produced by colour experts. This tradition has grown with the distinct Japanese seasons. Midori Autoleather has worked at cultivating sensitivity in natural materials. Lovingly crafted under the careful supervision of color experts, our unique designs reflect Japan's distinctive cycle of seasons and appreciation for natural materials. 3 1 Japanese Color Color Collection The page title should reflect the tab.

The Safflower which is the prefectural flower of Yamagata is used as a natural dye in products such as lipstick and kimonos. 私たち日本人は 自然の中の色彩や風情を巧みに生活の中に取り入れてきました 山形県の県花 紅花 は自然の染料として口紅の紅や着物を染めるために利用されてきました MIDORI AUTO LEATHERのカラーコレクションも日本の自然色に学び 日本人の美意識を大切にしていきます 3 3 Midori Auto leather gets ideas for its colour collection from natural colours, which are cherished in Japan for their aesthetic qualities. 4 1 We try to create products that appeal to people's sensitivity. Colour experts using different kinds of equipment produce the style of the products. The shape and aesthetic appearance of these products is very important to us. Japanese are particularly adept at incorporating the colors and flavors we find in nature into everyday life. For example, the Safflower, which is the prefectural flower of Yamagata, is used as a natural dye in products such as lipstick and kimono. In deciding upon a particular product's colors and shades, Midori Auto Leather draws inspiration from the colors that are inherent in nature. It is our goal to create a line of products that have universal appeal. In designing a product, every aesthetic aspect be it shape, style, color, or other detail is the result of painstaking consideration to its conception and manufacture. I have added 'For example ' at the beginning, here, in order to make this sentence tie more logically (by way of introducing an example of how color is used in everyday life) with the preceding sentence. Without 'For example' this sentence sounds disconnected and incongruous. 5 1 OUR THEME - APPLYING SCIENCE AND ART TO THE WORLD'S LIMITED NATURAL RESOURCES AND INCORPORATING THEM INTO THE LIVES OF PEOPLE OUR THEME - ALLYING ARTISTIC LICENSE WITH SCIENTIFIC METHODOLOGY TO ENHANCE PEOPLE'S LIVES AND PRESERVE OUR NATURAL RESOURCES

6 3 During the prehistoric age, people were skilled at making various leather goods. If you take a look at Babylonian inscriptions or Egyptian sculptures, you can see that leather goods were very important for the human race thousands of years ago. The skill of tanning leather originated in the Orient, which then spread into Europe and all over the world. The relationship between leather and man has continued throughout the ages. The application and techniques are forever changing and improving. Most genuine leather products are hand made. MIDORI AUTO LEATHER is trying to take over that tradition utilizing advanced technology. 有史以前から人は革づくりの技術を持ち 生活の中にさまざまな革製品を取り入れてきました エジプトの彫刻や なめしについて書かれたバビロニア人の碑文の中に 何千年も前から人類にとって革製品がなくてはならないものであった事実を見ることが出来ます オリエントで生まれたなめしの技術は やがてヨーロッパ全土へ そして世界中へと広がっていきました 用途や技法は様々に変容を遂げながらも 私達と革の関係は時を超えて現代へと続いてきています 本革製品が工芸品と呼ばれるように その工程の多くを手作りに頼ってきた革作り その伝統をMIDORI 7 1 It prevents rawhide from decaying and gives it the durability needed for many years use.

This close association between leather and man has continued throughout the ages, and applications and techniques are forever changing and developing. Genuinely high quality leather products demand a skilled hand. Midori Auto Leather strives to honor this tradition, while utilizing advanced technology to further evolve processing methods. Tanning is an important step in the preparation of rawhide to prevent it from decay, and to give the resulting leather its characteristic durability. The 'rawhide' is processed in various ways depending on the desired quality (for example, the thickness and texture) of the finished material. 8 1 Bio Technology Biotechnology This revision applies to both the title (here) and corresponding tab. 8 2 A TANNER PRODUCING TECHNICAL REVOLUTIONS REVOLUTIONARY DEVELOPMENTAL RESEARCH - The original title is long and wordy/confusing/lacks impact THROUGH BASIC DEVELOPMENTAL RESEARCH SPEARHEADING THE NEXT STAGE AND REACHING TOWARDS THE NEXT STAGE 基礎開発の研究そして NEXT STAGE へ

The application and techniques are forever changing and improving. Most genuine leather products are hand made. MIDORI AUTO LEATHER is trying to take over that tradition utilizing advanced technology. The earliest evidence of leather crafting can be traced back to prehistoric times, and is later graphically depicted by some of our earliest civilizations, including Babylonian inscriptions and Egyptian sculptures. The skill of 'tanning' leather originated in the Orient, and from there spread to Europe and eventually worldwide.
