A Trip to Canon Japan's Oita Factory


A Trip to Canon Japan's Oita Factory
Last week I was fortunate enough to be a part of a press group, that for the first time ever, was allowed into Canon's factory in Oita Japan. As we pulled the plastic shower caps over our shoes to keep the factory floor contaminant free, I wondered what exactly we were going to see. Visions of oompa-loompas dancing around and singing about camcorders were quickly dispelled, but the site of hundreds of young Japanese workers busily assembling camcorders was no less astonishing.
