Another day working on wheels (and so on).
A customer left me a carbon rim from the Ganwell (ガンウェル) brand to work with.
Ganwell is an original brand by Iwai Shokai, and
the name comes from 岩 (gan, meaning rock) and well (well).
Edit: I received many comments saying that "well" actually refers to the kanji 井 (i, meaning well/water well). That does make more sense, now that I think about it. Thanks for the comments. I was truly a frog in a well!
By the way, I should mention that all the company vehicles at their headquarters have license plates
ending in "・1－01,"
making 101 spell out Iwai.
↑Current logo.
↑I recognize this sticker, but let's not dwell on it.
All built up.
