How Tulip Japan Was Created
Tulip Japan was founded in 1948. It was previously known as Harada Seishinsho Incorporated up until 1970 when the company changed its name to Tulip Company Limited.
The tradition of needle-making in Hiroshima stretches back for more than 300 years.
The History of Hiroshima Needle production stretches back over 300 years, to when the ruling Asano Clan of Hiroshima Domain spread the practice as piecework for low-ranking samurai to support themselves. Since then, there have been numerous improvements in terms of both product quality and production efficiency and Hiroshima Needle has become widely known as a distinctive local industry.
