History
Before World War II, the company manufactured not only wooden boxes but also wooden military supplies. After the war and throughout the Korean War, it continued operating these businesses while also producing housing for coal-mining communities, including prefabricated homes. Tomoku later took over these operations and continued the business, including the manufacture of flooring materials, until the Yamabe Plant in Furano, Hokkaido, was closed in 1967.
