Company Profile

Greetings

Since foundation in 1905, from the manufacturer of roof tile, we have developed our business more to construction and sales mostly rooted in near by local area.

Thanks to your patronage, we have been appreciated by every people as a long- established shop to celebrate its 116th year, and have played an important role in keeping the tile culture and Japanese architectural culture.

After fourth generations since hoping to somehow merge the Japanese traditional culture that has been facing the risk to fade away, into the contemporary every day life, so that

we could contribute for the development of roof tile industry and succession of its culture.

In order to keep Japanese roof tiles and to pass them to future generations, we sincerely hope that through fusion with food culture, they will recognize the original goodness of Japanese roof tiles, as entirely natural materials so the “roof tiles” are indispensable for Japanese culture.

For the recovery of the original Japanese scenery and identity of Japanese people, we would like to create the opportunity to trigger it by a roof tiles culture and we will continue to make the products by sticking to the succession of the culture.
