In this episode, we visit MAZDA's headquarters in Hiroshima Prefecture. Hiroshima is the city where an atomic bomb was dropped in World War II. MAZDA was founded in this city in 1920 and has developed with Hiroshima even after the war. MAZDA once had fallen into financial crisis in the 90's, but now it has raised its profits to record highs, with technical strength and stylish design even more popular in the West than in Japan. What was it that changed MAZDA? Automobile manufacturer's very essence and culture are clearly reflected in their product. The SAMURAI TEAM tours the MAZDA headquarters, factory and museum, looking back at the history of the company, along with its corporate philosophy.
