    – Sumitomo (Hiragana) – for Japanese language novices like me

    Have been doing a bit of reading up on Sumitomo Group yesterday, today & think they most certainly warrant their own thread. Will follow with a bit of curated info on what looks to be most important.

    Noting the organisation is to some degree, right there in plain sight - this particular sign is on the building opposite where I work in Melbourne - I would have walked past it at least twice a day for the past 9 months - it wasn't really until Friday Lunch that I paid any attention to it.
