中国游客推动冈本股价逆市上涨

Shares in the Tokyo-based company, Japan’s market-dominant producer of condoms, havebroken out of a trading band they occupied for more than a decade and risen by more than120 per cent. Few companies have benefited so spectacularly, it acknowledges, from having‘Made in Japan’ stamped on products.

总部位于东京的安全套生产商冈本是日本的安全套市场主导者，公司股价已突破了十多年来的交易区间，上涨超过120%。冈本承认很少有公司能像它这样，从产品上印着的“日本制造几个字中获得如此惊人的益处。

“It was totally unexpected, says Yoshiyuki Okamoto, president of the company and son of theindustrialist commemorated in bronze. “The best I can say is that we are looking at the situationcalmly.

冈本株式会社社长冈本良幸(Yoshiyuki Okamoto)说：“这完全出乎我们意料。我能说的就是我们正从容面对这一局面。他是那尊铜像所纪念的那位实业家的儿子。

The Okamoto share price spike has been driven by China: specifically the 2.8m Chinese thathave visited Japan so far in 2015 and overtaken South Koreans and Taiwanese as the biggestcontingent of inbound tourists. Chinese trust in domestic condom brands is low, and foreignbrands, of which Okamoto is among the most famous, are faked on an immense scale. Buyingthe famous Okamoto 0.03 condoms (named for their thickness in millimetres) in Japan, say theChinese shoppers who throng Tokyo’s drug stores, guarantees they are getting the real thing.
