KARIN is the Japanese name of a tree that bears yellow fruit. The trees are commonly seen in Nagano Prefecture, where I was born and raised.

When I was a child, I often saw karin trees in gardens on my way to school. The fruit looked so delicious that I once tried to bite into one, only to discover that it was extremely hard and bitter.

Karin fruit has traditionally been considered good for the throat and is often used in candies, syrups, and other products in Japan.

There is also an interesting play on words in Japanese. The word “karin” sounds like karinai in the phrase “kane wa karinai”, meaning “Do not borrow money.”

This traditional wordplay associated with the karin tree reminds us to avoid unnecessary debt and to manage our affairs prudently — a principle that I also value in running my firm.

For these personal and symbolic reasons, I chose KARIN as the name of my firm.
