In 2021, Asumi worked as a sales associate at Kobe Steel, struggling to find purpose in her role while feeling powerless amid the company"s many challenges.
Just as she was about to tell her manager that she wanted to resign, a luminous beam emerged from an old corporate chronicle and transported her back to Kobe in 1905. There she met the spirited founders of Kobe Steel, including Torasuke—a clumsy yet passionate young man from the Meiji era who dreamed grandly and trusted in industrial progress.
