The histor# o0 $olan is inti"atel# tie to the personal stor# o0 its 0ouner< Mr .kutaro
Kakehashi:
When he Aas -ust 6K #ears ol< the #oung Mr Kakehashi notice there Aas no Aatch or
clock inustr# in post*Aar Japan: )e there0ore unerstoo there Aas a thriving business
to evelop repairing eCisting ti"epieces:

Mr Kakehashi 0oun a part*ti"e -ob in a Aatch repair store< but he %uickl# 0elt 0rustrate
Aith the pace at Ahich things Aere progressing: .n the traitional Japanese organiLation
o0 Aork7 beco"ing a "aster in an# technical area Aoul take a seven*#ear
apprenticeship: Conse%uentl# he le0t a0ter a 0eA "onths< bought a book on hoA to repair
Aatches an set up the DKakehashi Watch ,hopE:
This 0irst venture happene to be so success0ul that he %uickl# ecie to eCpan an
turn his enthusias" 0or "usic into business: .t beca"e legal at that ti"e to have a short*
Aave raio an to listen to 0oreign broacasts: While he scanne the airAaves 0or neA
"usic< Mr Kakehashi learne the basics o0 hoA raios operate: )e then use broken
sets to create Aorking units: )is repair shop starte to repair broken raios in aition to
clocks an Aatches:

.t is re"arkable that a "an na"e Mr Torakusu /a"aha ha also starte out as a Aatch repairer: .n 0act the

DKakehashi MusenE: * Jater the na"e Aas to be change to +ce 'lectrical Co"pan#: )is
initial goal Aas to prouce an electronic instru"ent capable o0 generating si"ple

telephones< an si"ple transistor oscillators: .n 67F7< he esigne an built a )aAaiian
guitar a"pli0ier< but he also Aent on Aith his 0urther organ evelop"ents:
Gn the 6>th o0 +pril 6728< Mr: Kakehashi establishe the $olan Corporation:
