Kyoto Bank Senryu Theater Episode 3: “Uniform”

In a commercial showing people working in manufacturing on the factory floor, a senryu featured in the ad touches on their uniforms.

The ad powerfully captures how cool and admirable these individuals look as they face the craft of making things with serious dedication.
The Kyoto Bank Senryu Theater, Episode 2: “Our Cat”

It opens with a scene of a man drinking milk straight from the carton instead of pouring it into a glass, while a cat gazes at him.

It turns out he has passed away, but he had entrusted his will to Kyoto Bank.
The message encourages preparing a will trust early—sooner is better.
It’s a warm commercial that conveys the bonds of family.
