TOKYO -- Japan's die-makers were a driving force behind the country's rapid post-war industrial growth. But when car factories began racing to China, they left behind the companies and craftsmen who, for example, would help them bend sheets of metal into the shapes of door panels, fenders and other parts.

Many fell upon hard times.

 
Now one company is re-emerging, making a name for itself with cutting edge technology that can successfully shape sheets of aluminum, a notoriously fussy material to work with.

In fact, Fuji Technica & Miyazu, in Shimizu, Shizuoka Prefecture, is a key supplier, teammate, really, of Tesla Motors.
