One of the oldest Japanese badge manufacturing firm was founded on February 10, 1895 in Hiroshima. Initially, the company was only engaged in the production and sale of badges. Later the range of products expanded significantly: uniforms and school uniforms, prizes and souvenirs, cups and trophies, flags, etc.
On August 6, 1945 (exactly on the 50th anniversary of the workshop) its building was destroyed during the atomic bombing. On January 29, 1971, the workshop was re-registered under the name Kishodo Co., Ltd with a registered capital of 2 million yen.
On July 8, 1985 (again an anniversary year - the 90th anniversary of the founding of the company) its building was completely destroyed again as a result of a fire caused by a short circuit in the power grid. The construction of the new building took almost two years. It opened in May 1987 and has not been closed since then.
