## Our Dream: To Align the 'Axis of Life' Across Japan and Create a Proud Japan for 1000 Years to Come
Our dream at Misora Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture; Representative Director: Akiko Shiozaki) is to create a society where Japanese people can affirm the 'miracle of their own existence' and powerfully navigate their lives with gratitude to their ancestors, through genealogy creation and root research dating back to the Edo period.
Beyond simply researching family lines, we aim to visualize the 'baton of life' that has been continuously passed down, enabling each individual to establish an unwavering identity (their own axis). Our ultimate goal is a future where Japan's traditional culture and spirituality are beautifully inherited for 100, even 1000 years to come.
## The Background Behind Our Dream
Background to the Dream: What Must Not Be Lost Amidst the Rough Seas of Population Decline
In 2025, Japan's population decline accelerated, with an annual natural decrease of approximately 900,000 people. This is a shocking figure, equivalent to an entire designated city like Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture (our company's base), disappearing.
In this unprecedented society of declining birthrates and super-aging, we now stand at a major turning point. Precisely because globalization is advancing and diverse values are intermingling, fundamental questions for Japanese people such as 'Who am I?' and 'What did our ancestors cherish and protect?' have become more important than ever.
When we unravel a family tree, we find countless ancestors who desperately connected lives, overcoming famines, wars, and earthquakes. Our lives today exist thanks to their hardships and love. We are convinced that when people realize this fact, they will seriously consider 'what they live for' and regain the heart to cherish themselves and others.
## What We Are Doing: Inheriting 'Education' and 'Culture' Starting from Genealogy
We will strengthen the following activities through genealogy creation:
- 'Visualization of Life': Based on specialized research, we create family trees tracing back to the Edo period, bringing buried family stories back to life in the present day.
- Establishment of Identity: By knowing one's roots, we support individuals in enhancing self-esteem and discovering their 'family axis' as a guide for life.
- Guardians of Tradition and Culture: We create platforms to pass on to future generations the wonderful culture that Japanese people have cherished, such as the spirit of 'Wa' (harmony), respect for nature, education, and customs, which are proudly recognized worldwide.
## Message from Representative Director Akiko Shiozaki
"A family tree is not for looking at the past, but for gaining the courage to live the future. Instead of being intimidated by the visible numbers of population decline, I believe that for us living today to re-recognize the 'weight of life' received from our ancestors is the key to Japan's revitalization.
Let's work together to create a proud Japan, one for which Japanese people 1000 years from now will be grateful to us living today."
