Ichizo Kobayashi, known as the founder of Hankyu Railway and the father of the Takarazuka Revue. Kobayashi, a young man who went from Koshu to Tokyo and studied at Keio University, was a literary youth who wrote novels. After graduating and joining Mitsui Bank, although he worked, he was not necessarily highly regarded and was seen as a problematic employee who indulged in dissipation. After the Russo-Japanese War, Kobayashi was invited by his former boss, Kiyochika Iwashita, who founded Kitahama Bank, to become the manager of a securities company that was to be established. Kobayashi, thinking that it was better than not succeeding, quit the bank and went to Osaka with his wife and children. However, the plan to establish the securities company was canceled, and he quickly fell into financial hardship with his family. At this time, Kobayashi heard about the establishment of the Minoh Arima Electric Railway. Seeing the potential in the railway business, he persuaded Iwashita to accept the shares of Kitahama Bank. He changed the company name to "Minoh Arima Electric Railway" and became the managing director. From here, his fate began to open up. Kobayashi, who believed that customers should be created, acquired land along the planned railway lines, developed residential areas in the suburbs, and started installment sales. Furthermore, he created excursionists by building amusement parks and theaters, and created terminal department stores, something that no one had thought of. This book is a masterpiece of autobiography in which the rare idea-driven businessman, who celebrated his 80th birthday, reminisced about the past at the request of a weekly magazine.
