The hands that made pencils turned to radios.
After completing his work in Osaka to teach technology, Tokuji opened a new factory on September 1, 1924.[3] After that, I came into contact with imported crystal radios, did a lot of research, and moved on to making radios in 1925, when radio broadcasting began in Japan.[4]
A pencil and a radio. If you just display the finished products, it's a big change in direction. However, a connection can be found in the work process of investigating mechanisms, devising parts, and using hands to create shapes. Past experience is not only useful for creating the same product.
Of course, if you go to a new field, you will have to relearn things. It is not enough to simply carry on with previous successes. Distinguish between what you have and what you don't know, and learn from others and new technologies. Starting over is different from returning to your old self.
Tokuji's work did not stop at changing the shape of the product. We will also be concerned with the wall between having a skill and getting a job opportunity.

If you think, ``I only have experience in this industry,'' the next path seems narrow. Let's divide experience into observing, improving accuracy, and finding defects. You may find another place that needs that power. This does not mean throwing away the past, but rather expanding its uses.
