Tokutaro Takaoka established Takaoka Shoten as a futon maker and started supplying the Kyoto Daimaru (now Daimaru Kyoto).
Shuichiro Takaoka officially registered Takaoka Co., Ltd. and became CEO.
The main customer was Daimaru Co., Ltd.'s, related department stores, and other affiliated department stores. The business developed into a bedding manufacturer and a wholesaler.
In the 21st century, Takaokaya was created. Takaokaya offers comfortable sitting and relaxation products handmade by craftsmen with traditional skills. Its key item was the zabuton cushion.
Koichiro Takaoka became CEO.
Takaokaya held the first exhibition at an organized trade fair in Tokyo Big Sight called the Interior Lifestyle. This expands Takaokaya's sales channels into areas outside of department stores.
Takaokaya participated in the imm's International Furniture and Interior Fair held in Cologne, Germany. This is where Takaokaya's overseas expansion begins.
The company celebrated its 100th anniversary. Takaokaya will continue down the path of creating handcrafted kangu products that contribute to a comfortable and luxurious living.
