The Day a Factory on the Brink of Bankruptcy Took Over Apple Headquarters Hiroshima · Maruni Wood Industry · The HIROSHIMA Miracle

Cupertino, California. Apple headquarters — said to have the most exacting aesthetic standards in the world. The chairs inside were made by a small factory in Hiroshima. And just a few years before, that factory had been staring bankruptcy in the face. This is the story of a miraculous chair.

1928, Hiroshima. The pride of craftsmen.

The history of Maruni Wood Industry begins in 1928. They survived the war, and in the postwar years honed their craft making furniture for the Allied occupation forces. The company grew alongside Japan's high-growth era, and the traditional furniture line launched in 1968 became what was called "the greatest hit in the history of Japanese-style furniture." This company had real skill. That was an undeniable fact.

The bubble burst. China arrived.

In the 1990s, everything changed. As the economic bubble collapsed, inexpensive Chinese-made furniture began flooding the market. In an era where price had overtaken quality, established craftsmen were at a crushing disadvantage. "When bankruptcy finally seemed inevitable, what gave us the strength to hold on was the support of fellow Hiroshima businesses who lent us funds — and the words of encouragement telling us we had to keep going." At the edge of the cliff, they chose to go back to their roots.

A desperate gamble: "nextmaruni"

In 2004, a project staking the company's future was set in motion. Twelve of the world's leading designers were commissioned to design chairs, to be built by Maruni Wood Industry — "nextmaruni." They exhibited at the Milan Salone in Italy. The response was enormous. Everyone felt something close to certainty: "This changes everything." But the chairs didn't sell.

Naoto Fukasawa, and the birth of "HIROSHIMA"

They changed course. One designer. The choice was world-renowned product designer Naoto Fukasawa. And in 2008, a single chair was born.

"This name has the power to resonate around the world. Once you hear it, you never forget it — let's carry this name out to the world." — Naoto Fukasawa

The chair was named "HIROSHIMA." To engrave onto a chair the name that people around the world know as a symbol of peace — that took courage. But with Fukasawa's encouragement at their backs, they chose it.

Apple chose it.

Apple Park, Apple's new headquarters completed in 2017. A vast complex where 12,000 people work — and when Apple, which never compromises on quality or design, looked at furniture from around the world for those spaces, what they chose was "HIROSHIMA."

🪑 Apple Park · Cupertino, California

Thousands of HIROSHIMA chairs now line the halls of Apple headquarters in Cupertino. The order placed was equivalent to an entire year's production in one go, so delivery was carried out in phases beginning in 2016. That factory that had nearly gone under. That factory nestled in the hills of Hiroshima.

From back to arm, not a single flat surface

Why did Apple choose HIROSHIMA? At first glance, it looks like a simple chair with beautiful wood grain. But from the armrests to the backrest, it flows in unbroken curves — there is not a single flat surface. Fukasawa's intricate design, and the craftsmanship of Maruni Wood Industry that makes it possible. That combination captured Apple's aesthetic vision. From the armrests through to the backrest, skilled craftsmen still finish each surface by hand. After the machine cuts, the human hand takes over.

Remarkable things happen quietly. But behind that quiet, there is always someone's refusal to give up.

What HIROSHIMA teaches us goes beyond chairs. When someone with genuine skill — pushed to the very edge — returns to their roots and finds the right partner, the world moves. That's what this story is.

You might just want one in your own room.

"What makes content go viral? Findings from Analyzing 1200 videos "


Summary: What Really Matters for Going Viral on Social Media

You can put out genuinely useful content and still get almost no views. A recent study analyzing 1,200 videos revealed some surprising findings.

Step 1: In today's internet, "quality alone" isn't enough to win The internet is oversaturated with information. No matter how accurate or high-quality your content is, simply putting it out there means it gets buried.

In this era, "whether it fits the rules of that platform" has a greater impact on whether your content gets seen than "whether the content is correct."

Step 2: Learn the "right formula" for each platform 

The research found that the type of expression that performs well varies dramatically depending on the platform.

  • TikTok: Speed above all
    • If it can't be understood in 3 seconds, people swipe away.
    • The key is leading with the conclusion and stripping information down to the bare minimum.
  • Instagram: Bright "emotion" and "relatability"
    • Upbeat, positive content performs best.
    • More than being right, what matters is a story that makes people feel "that's beautiful" or "I get that!"
  • YouTube: Deep explanation with a "kick"
    • Longer videos can hold attention here, so it suits detailed explanations.
    • But too serious and people lose interest — weaving in humor and wit to hold viewers' attention is essential.

Step 3: Adjust your strategy by topic too Whether you're posting about science or health also changes what your audience is looking for.

  • Science (physics, etc.): Accuracy is everything. Objective, straightforward explanation works best.
  • Psychology and social topics: Discussion is key. Mix in your own perspective and invite debate in the comments.
  • Health topics: A sense of reassurance matters. Solid data plus an empathetic "we're in this together" energy is what lands.

Conclusion: So what should you do?

  1. Commit to using each platform intentionally TikTok to go viral, Instagram for relatability, YouTube for genuine understanding — choose your platform based on your goal.
  2. Reshape the same material to fit the format The same information can be made shorter, brighter, or deeper depending on the platform. Adapting it is the shortcut to success.

In one line: Just as important as — or more important than — "what you say" is "where you say it, and with what kind of energy." That's the secret to going viral today.

"Soy is just cheap". A doctor's 17 year belief ---put to the test. 

 

Soy Protein

Misconception ① It doesn't build muscle → False 

Over the long term (3+ months), there is no meaningful difference in muscle mass compared to whey.

Misconception ② It lowers testosterone → False 

No effect at normal intake levels (consistent across 15 years of multiple large-scale analyses).

Soy's unique benefits

  • LDL↓ · Blood pressure↓ (cardiovascular protection)
  • Does not overstimulate mTORC1 → an advantage from the perspective of cellular aging and cancer risk
  • Lower in methionine → works to cut off a key fuel source for cancer cells

How the author uses both

  • Right after training → whey
  • Before bed · as a snack → soy

 

 

Key Learnings on Gut Bacteria and Short-Chain Fatty Acids

The gut is said to be the most nutrient-rich environment on earth. The basics of building a body that resists weight gain are: don't overeat, exercise, and review your diet — but recently, attention has turned to how dietary fiber is converted into short-chain fatty acids

===

The two key functions of short-chain fatty acids (butyrate/propionate/acetate) (

Switching on the fat-burning mechanism 

Reducing harmful bacteria and increasing beneficial bacteria

 

3 steps to producing short-chain fatty acids 

Step 1: Bacillus subtilis (natto bacteria) and saccharifying bacteria produce sugars from dietary fiber.

Step 2: Lactic acid bacteria convert those sugars into lactic acid, while bifidobacteria produce acetate.

Step 3: Propionibacteria and butyrate-producing bacteria get to work, using lactic acid and acetate as the basis for producing propionate and butyrate.

===

 

The importance of bifidobacteria 

Japanese people tend to carry relatively high levels of bifidobacteria — on average 10–15%, and over 50% in some individuals. However, roughly one third of the population has less than 1%.

When bifidobacteria are low, acetate is not produced in sufficient quantities, and the subsequent production of butyrate via butyrate-producing bacteria also stalls. As a result, the fat-burning switch never gets turned on — and even with adequate fiber intake, the body can remain prone to weight gain.

In addition, butyrate production requires vitamin B1, but butyrate-producing bacteria cannot produce B1 themselves. This means that people who are low in vitamin B1 may struggle to reach butyrate production even when consuming enough dietary fiber.


===

The two great fermented foods: natto and yogurt

Natto and yogurt — cherished by Japanese people since ancient times — play a powerful role as foods that supply the bacteria needed for Steps 1 and 2.

The importance of diversity 

Gut bacteria operate through a division of labor, which makes diversity essential.

Eat a variety of different yogurts Introduce a wide range of bacterial strains into the gut

Taking in a diverse array of bacteria is what leads to a healthy gut environment.

Now I finally understand why fiber alone isn't enough~~~
