Shiseido
Shiseido’s creed is to stand out from the pack. Founder Arinobu Fukuhara had carved a path for himself when he set up a district pharmacy in Ginza. It was Japan’s first taste of Western-inspired pharmaceuticals. With more customers queueing outside the store each day, the pharmacy began to develop into the powerhouse it is today. Known for its clever fuse of Eastern and Western styles, the brand now serves customers worldwide.
