Born out of an initiative to forecast fashion trends in a slowing Japanese economy, "Novelty Book Service Co., Ltd." was one of several group names involved in the "Fashion Technology Group" (FTG) composed of experts across the textile, apparel, and fashion industries. FTG was organized by Kentaro Kawasaki (known for Japanese fashion forecasting), and textile engineers Shigeto Tozawa (Asahi Kasei) and Masaaki Tomiji (Teijin) in 1976 in an effort to understand and predict consumer trends. "In a paper entitled 'Looking for the Possibility of Fashion Prediction,' published in 1976 in the journal of the Textile Machinery Society of Japan, Kawasaki explored the idea that an approach of mixing product life cycle, psychology, and sociology could help companies to predict the future." As a new collaborative, FTG sought to scientifically measure the future of fashion. "They believed that mathematically processing a broad range of data on clothes (e.g., size, color, shape) and demographics (e.g., gender, age, income) would make it possible to design the right products." The Clan & Tartans of Scotland textile sample books are a product of this initiative, bringing the west to Japan for study.

Carter White Lead Co. was founded in 1878 by Levi Carter (1831-1903), and partners, who pioneered the use of powdered lead in mixing durable paints, building and operating the Chicago plant, which at the beginning of the 20th Century was the largest single white lead factory in the World, as well as plants in East Omaha, and Montreal. In the first decade of the 20th Century they claimed to produce half of all paint used in North America.
