Company Profile

Foundation

Our company began as a result of the fact that Shimizu Toyojiro (the late grandfather of the current president), who returned home as a wounded soldier in the Second World War entered into the lumber industry in 1944.
At the time, there was no electric saw, and the waterwheel was used to lumber the logs, making building materials and beekeeping materials.
After that, we began manufacturing wooden baths, and in around 1955 we were incorporated as "Shimizu’s Wooden Baths", producing 40 units a day.
In 1967 the factory was burned down by a fire and we started again from the beginning, as a new attempt implemented new machinery and began manufacturing sushi okes.
At the time, artisans made handmade sushi okes using hand planes one by one, but we began machine manufacturing while lower cost while maintaining a high level of quality. Now, we make various wooden products. We have three main products: beekeeping materials which have been in existence since our foundation, wooden baths, okes and barrels.
