A Life Around Butlers
Arrangement, certification, training, and information — a guide to the four ventures that make up the butler world.
How the Four Butler Ventures Connect
Butler Ventures is an independent guide that gathers the four butler-related ventures — arrangement, the association, training, and information — into one neutral overview. It lays out each entrance in one place so a reader can see, at a glance, which door leads where.
The four ventures connect around the All Japan Butler Association. The Association looks after certification and the spread of butler culture, while THE BUTLER handles arrangement, Japan Butler Academy handles training, and Butler Bell handles information — each taking a distinct role.
Arrangement, training, and sharing — the work around butlers flows as one, centered on the Association.
