“When we first traveled to Japan in the early 1990s, Japanese stocks represented approximately 30% of the MSCI World Index (versus about 6% today), and the Emperor’s palace was worth more than the state of California. We watched the real estate bubble inflate, the subsequent deflation, and the ‘lost decades’ until, more recently, a meaningful if uneven transition from a country of unrealized potential to one of improved financial productivity emerged. Global competition, sustained inflation, and labor scarcity are gradually reshaping corporate behavior, with management teams placing greater emphasis on price-mix, cash flow, and portfolio optimization rather than growth for growth’s sake. While the country remains slow to adopt AI, industrial companies such as Murata Manufacturing and SMC Corporation occupy strategic positions within the global AI and automation ecosystems. Companies such as Sony have greatly enhanced strategic focus, capital allocation, and core competitive advantages in entertainment (music and gaming) and image sensors.”
