Japanese farmers around here take a lot of pride in their work. Many of them even put their photograph on their packaged produce available in the “farmers market” section of our local grocery store. I would, too, if I was able to grow fruits and vegetables so deliciously full of flavor.
If you had your picture and contact information on the products you sold, would you change the way you do business? How about the quality of your products and services? Would you be embarrassed or honored if your customers recognized you on the street?
I love the idea of a farmer’s face on my fruit bag. Makes it seem so personal.
What a great object lesson too. Thanks.
My job is one that my face gets plastered all over my work. After all, my kids see me in public and I get introduced to their parents or guardians. Sometimes I wish I could hide from my kids, but the fact that even the worst of my students will overtly hide from my presence shows that my reputation apparently isn’t all that bad. After all, if I wasn’t doing a good job, they would just ignore me.

At the school I work at during the summer there is a board with all the teachers pictures and their credentials…and at the market people recognize me. There is really no place for a 6′ white American to hide in Japan :)
