Integrated Report 2019 Mitsui & Co., Ltd. Integrated Report 2019 Report Integrated Ltd. Mitsui & Co., MITSUI & CO., LTD. Integrated Report 2019 1×1×1=10,000 Mitsui’s Equation for Value Creation Mitsui has adopted shared goals with its business partners and clients, local communities, and NPOs and NGOs. Guided by these goals, we are leveraging our strengths in unison with the strengths of these parties and complementing each other as we work to resolve the issues facing industries and society through our businesses. These efforts represent the Group’s business approach, which has been passed down since our establishment, as well as an indispensable equation for both Mitsui and society as a whole to be sustainable in the generations to come. Mitsui possesses a diverse range of talent that can be considered “pros in specific business domains, regions, products, and fields” in addition to a powerful business network. This is precisely what allows us to create unique synergies and new businesses by combining our functional, product, and regional expertise. During this process, we often create something from nothing, in numerical terms, “1” from “0,” and by multiplying that “1” with a series of “1’s” from collaborating parties, we can achieve “10,000”—an exponential outcome. In this way, we deliver a significant impact to industries, society, and the entire world, which far exceeds that of Mitsui acting on its own. Corporate Management Philosophy Mission Strive to contribute to the creation of a future where the aspirations of the people can be fulfilled. Vision Aim to become a global business enabler that can meet the needs of our customers throughout the world. Values • Build trust with fairness and humility. • Aspire to set high standards and to contribute to society. • Embrace the challenge of continuous innovation. • Foster a culture of open-mindedness. • Strive to develop others and oneself to achieve full potential. Mitsui & Co. Group Conduct Guidelines With Integrity Five Key Principles We will comply with laws and regulations, and act to the highest ethical standards. 01 We will respect human rights and never engage in discrimination of any kind. We will respect the individuality and diversity of every employee, and foster a 02 culture of open-mindedness. We will engage in fair business practices, and respond to the trust placed in us by 03 society with good faith and sincerity. We will place value on the global environment, and contribute to the realization of 04 prosperity and a high quality of life for society. We will speak up with courage when we have doubts or feel that something is 05 wrong, for the good of the company. MITSUI & CO., LTD. Integrated Report 2019 003 Publication of an Integrated Report akashi Masuda, the first president of the former Mitsui & Co.,* stated, “Let T not short-term gains tempt your mind, seek only enduring prosperity by embracing grand aspirations.” These words represent the foundation of the Mitsui’s business activities. Mitsui acknowledges companies can only be sustain- able if the societies they operate in are sustainable. We want to fulfill our social responsibilities by the sustainable growth of our own company, in order to con- tribute to the realization of a sustainable society through our business activities. In 2015, the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which lay out 17 goals and 169 targets to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all by 2030. The SDGs clearly underline priority issues on a global basis and the ideal visions for the future. Meanwhile, the megatrends with the potential to impact our business activities are rapidly changing. In response to this, in April 2019 we revised Mitsui’s Materiality, which was originally defined in 2015 as important management issues for our sustain- able growth ( please see pages 51–54). As a trading company, we possess various functions and develop a broad range of businesses in diverse countries and regions around the world. As our Materiality has strong association with the SDGs, we believe that we can make wide-ranging contributions to society through our businesses. Our diverse human resources leverage our comprehensive strengths and global network and continuously pursue industrial solutions to social issues. We consider it important to send a clearer message from a long-term and comprehensive perspective about the unchanging approach of Mitsui’s man- agement and each employee, pursuing sustainable development for both soci- ety and us continuously with the aim of creating a future where all aspirations can be fulfilled. Accordingly, we renewed as Integrated Report from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. We received more feedback than we could ever have imagined from our stakeholders on our first-ever Integrated Report. During the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, we made improvements to make Integrated Report 2019 easier to understand while referring to this feedback. Looking ahead, we will continue to do our utmost to ensure that the Integrated Report serves as an effective communication tool that positively contributes to constructive dialogue with our stakeholders. In the process, we referred to “the International Integrated Reporting Framework” propounded by International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) and “the Guidance for Collaborative Value Creation” formulated by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, in addition to other frameworks. In the course of preparing this report, we have worked closely with each of our internal depart- ments to provide a summary of our holistic perspective on the Group as a * From a legal perspective, there is no continuity between the former Mitsui & Co. and the present whole. Through these means, I can say with confidence that this report was Mitsui & Co., and they are totally separate corpo- rate entities. created in an honest and sincere manner.

  • Faith and Power in Japanese Buddhist Art, 1600-2005
    japanese art | religions graham FAITH AND POWER IN JAPANESE BUDDHIST ART, 1600–2005 Faith and Power in Japanese Buddhist Art explores the transformation of Buddhism from the premodern to the contemporary era in Japan and the central role its visual culture has played in this transformation. The chapters elucidate the thread of change over time in the practice of Bud- dhism as revealed in sites of devotion and in imagery representing the FAITH AND POWER religion’s most popular deities and religious practices. It also introduces the work of modern and contemporary artists who are not generally as- sociated with institutional Buddhism but whose faith inspires their art. IN JAPANESE BUDDHIST ART The author makes a persuasive argument that the neglect of these ma- terials by scholars results from erroneous presumptions about the aes- thetic superiority of early Japanese Buddhist artifacts and an asserted 160 0 – 20 05 decline in the institutional power of the religion after the sixteenth century. She demonstrates that recent works constitute a significant contribution to the history of Japanese art and architecture, providing evidence of Buddhism’s persistent and compelling presence at all levels of Japanese society. The book is divided into two chronological sections. The first explores Buddhism in an earlier period of Japanese art (1600–1868), emphasiz- ing the production of Buddhist temples and imagery within the larger political, social, and economic concerns of the time. The second section addresses Buddhism’s visual culture in modern Japan (1868–2005), specifically the relationship between Buddhist institutions prior to World War II and the increasingly militaristic national government that had initially persecuted them.

Abstract Visual and Material Culture at Hōkyōji Imperial Convent: The Significance of “Women’s Art” in Early Modern Japan by Sharon Mitsuko Yamamoto Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art University of California, Berkeley Professor Gregory Levine, Chair This dissertation focuses on the visual and material culture of Hōkyōji Imperial Buddhist Convent (Hōkyōji ama monzeki jiin) during the Edo period (1600-1868).
