Company motto is the sprit of our founder Tsugio Tanazawa started the company, who loved the shop-floor than anyone else, and pursued technology in deep.
Tsugio put ‘Sincerity’ to the first as he always tried to be humble and trust people, instead of deceiving people with cleverness.
When the company has only less than 20 employees, he was proud of the technology and already aimed at the world with a broad perspective. His thought made the current global brand TANAZAWA HAKKOSHA.

Origin of the Company Name
The founder quoted the company name from a buddhist scripture because the date of foundation was April 8, the birthday of Buddha. “八光社 (Hakkosha)” literally includes the number “8” (has meanings in Japan that widely towards to the end) to express our desire to be good for the world, even if we cannot do anything as great as the Buddha’s teachings “光明遍照十方世界（illuminating the ten directions）”.
Origin of the Company Logo
The company emblem is a design of “光 (Hikari),” which means “Light.” The upper center represents “Mountains”. The fresh water from the top of the mountain fertilizes the land, eventually flows into the great ocean, which leads to the whole world. The design expresses the meaning that just as water is useful in the workings of nature, our company should also benefit the world through its own activities.
