How many companies use poets, even dead ones such as Charles Baudelaire to illustrate their work.
My favorite Tokyo stop PingMag tells us more about Japanese Product Poetry. I chose Inspiration comes of working (my favorite) to illustrate the subject.
Let me quote these selected words from Baudelaire so you do not have to strain your eyes:
"The purpose of human life is to serve and to show compassion and the will to help others. Creativity is the ability to introduce order into the randomness of nature. Life is an exciting business and most exciting when it is lived for others. You cannot do much about the length of your life, but you can do a lot about its depth and width…"
Vive la difference!
