Young owners of small and midsize businesses from Chubu and other regions are publishing their own English magazine, Indexrights, to market their products abroad.
The magazine serves as a tool to attract potential clients overseas, since the companies have insufficient funds to build factories abroad.
One of the companies introduced in the quarterly publication was Nishimura Precision, which sells ultra-thin reading glasses it calls Paperglass. It was featured in an article headlined "Reading glasses folding flat to impressive thickness of 2 mm," and accompanied by a photo.
