Trivia

Soumatou is a double-layered lantern. The inner layer revolves and has images cut into it, such that when it turns, the shapes appear to move around the lantern. In recent years, soumatou has become associated with the "life flashing before your eyes" phenomenon that happens before death.^[1]
Kabushiki gaisha, literally meaning "stock company", is a type of business corporation defined under Japanese law.
