Takara Belmont
Takara Belmont is a Japanese company that has been a leader in the beauty and barber equipment industry for over 100 years. The company was founded in 1921 by Hidenobu Yoshikawa under the name Takara Chuzo Ltd. in Osaka, Japan. Initially, Takara Chuzo manufactured and sold metalworking products such as locks and keys.

In 1951, Takara Chuzo changed its name to Takara Belmont Co., Ltd. The name "Belmont" was inspired by the Belmont Stakes, one of the prestigious horse races in the United States. The company aimed to embody the spirit of high quality, elegance, and tradition associated with the race in its products.

The company became known for its innovative designs, durability, and attention to detail.
