The company has been founded in 1957 in the Hasami City, in Nagasaki Prefecture, by the Kodama family. In 1946, the former president, Kaoru Kodama, began selling ceramics from a cart and, 11 years later, established the company. The company name refers to the Saikai Bridge, built nearby at the time of the company's founding. A name which also echoes the philosophy of the Kodama family, whose vocation is to "build a bridge between people and objects to enrich their daily lives." Thanks to this philosophy and the company's efforts, traditional Hasami ceramics have crossed oceans and conquered tables around the world. The company also actively participates in the city's dynamism and the preservation of traditions by taking part in activities promoting Hasami ceramics and local tourism.
