(4) Natasha Khan Kiyotaka Matsuda, Fujifilm Develops a New Focus. www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/ ... finds-a-second-life

Note:
(a) summary underneath the title in print: Japanese film giant finds a second life after phoography
(b) “During a recent magazine shoot in Japan, Fujifilm Holdings Corp’s Chairman 会長 Shigetaka KOMORI 古森 重隆 [‘who is also chief executive officer’] posed in a white lab coat, wielding a test tube in his hand. Komori is no scientist * * * Fujifilm this year reported record profit of 119 billion yen ($950 million)”

The “ko” is Chinese pronunciation of 古.
(c) “Yuzō TODA 戸田 雄三, the chemist Komori has entrusted to lead the push into cosmetics and pharmaceuticals”

(d) "A lifelong Fujifilm employee who took over as CEO in 2003, Komori has sometimes likened his role to that of a general going into battle. He talks about taking calculated risks, and in his memoir 'Innovating Out of Crisis' mentions reading Winston Churchill’s World War II account several times. Yuuki, the Japanese word for courage, is framed on a conference room wall where he receives guests."

(e) "Scientist Tomoko TASHIRO 田代 朋子, who had been developing molecules for preserving photographs, came back from maternity leave in 2005 to find that she had been reassigned. She was asked to look into applying the same technology to skin. * * * Collagen is a shared ingredient in both photographic film and human skin."
(i) This is the online version. I am talking about the last sentence. The print explains that gelatin, used in film, comes from collagen.
(ii) collagen  膠原蛋白
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collagen

Quote:

"Collagen is the main structural protein in the extracellular space in the various connective tissues in animals.

"The name collagen comes from the Greek kólla, meaning 'glue,' and [Greek] suffix -gen, denoting 'producing.'  This refers to the compound's early use in the process of boiling the skin and sinews of horses and other animals to obtain glue.

(iii)
