jukochodai
Mr. Abe, who served a difficult year as prime minister five years ago, is considered a staunch advocate for old-school manufacturers, known as "jukochodai" from the Japanese words for "heavy, thick, long and big."
The opposite of the jukochodai heavy industries are the "keihakutansho" high-tech industries. Keihakutansho means "light, thin, short and small," and is also used to refer to the work done by retirees.
