{"id":305,"count":3,"description":"About Fukutaro\u2019s logo:\r\n \r\nIf you study the history of local oil dealers during the Muromachi period in Japan (1336 \u2013 1573), you would inevitably come across the name Sait\u014d D\u014dsan, the managing director and man depicted on the signboard hanging outside the storefront for \u201cTakemoto Oil.\u201d It was the very same well-known samurai, Sait\u014d D\u014dsan.\r\n \r\nOil peddlars are only human. As you might imagine, there are \u201cgood\u201d and \u201cpoor\u201d oil peddlers, as there are with any businessmen. Oil peddlers used to travel carrying oil barrels on a pole over their shoulder and pour the oil into customers\u2019 lamps using a ladle. When measuring the oil, it was often thick, stringy, and difficult to separate. The oil peddlar and customer would often make small talk until the oil was fully poured. This historical tidbit is well-known among Japanese as the origin of the Japanese proverb \u6e6f\u3092\u58f2\u308b yu o uru (lit. \u201cselling oil\u201d), meaning \u201cto chat about trivial matters while ignoring your work.\u201d\r\n \r\nOil was extracted by hand from rapeseed at that time and only sold by traveling salesmen. It was an utterly inefficient business. It\u2019s said that a \u201cgood\u201d oil peddler would ensure that oil would never run out by using an upright barrel and ladle.\r\n \r\nThe scale is the universal symbol for accuracy and honesty all over the world. With this in mind, Fukutaro designed its logo with a scale and two upright oil barrels to represent the Japanese character \u767e hyaku, or one hundred. Fukutaro has been guided by the principles of accuracy and honesty as reflected in our logo for the last hundred years and the next hundred years to come.","link":"https:\/\/wp.yabuybuy.com\/nn\/brand\/fukutaro\/","name":"Fukutaro","slug":"fukutaro","taxonomy":"product_brand","parent":0,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"\nFukutaro - Yabuybuy<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/wp.yabuybuy.com\/nn\/brand\/fukutaro\/?wmc-currency=JPY\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"nn_NO\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Fukutaro - Yabuybuy\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"About Fukutaro\u2019s logo: If you study the history of local oil dealers during the Muromachi period in Japan (1336 \u2013 1573), you would inevitably come across the name Sait\u014d D\u014dsan, the managing director and man depicted on the signboard hanging outside the storefront for \u201cTakemoto Oil.\u201d It was the very same well-known samurai, Sait\u014d D\u014dsan.
