brand introduction
CASIO (カシォ Calculator Co., Ltd.) is a brand owned by a Japanese company that produces electronic instruments and electronic calculators. The brand was founded in April 1946 by Tadao Zunwei, an engineer proficient in assembly. The name of the brand comes from the Japanese pronunciation Kashio at the end of the bottle. The original intention of Casio TR series is also to create a TOP beauty shooting experience for women. The latest light and shadow beauty function can show the natural skin state even when shooting in the dark.
Tadao Sumo, the late founder of Casio Computer Co., Ltd., was born in 1917 in Kurita Village, Kochi Prefecture, Japan. In 1923, after the Great Kanto Earthquake in Japan, the Zuwei family moved to Tokyo at the invitation of their uncle who worked in Tokyo. After graduating from high school, Tadao Tsuo became a lathe apprentice. Because of his excellent work, he was appreciated by the factory owner and encouraged him to study at Waseda Technical School (now Waseda University) while working in the factory. In the past few years, Tadao Zunwei has traveled to several workshops and accumulated rich experience. Having made power generation lamps for pots and bicycles, he won a good reputation for his exquisite skills and was entrusted to process some parts.
In 1946, Tadashio Sumio formally established the Sumio Manufacturing Company in Mitsui City, Tokyo. The company’s name comes from the Japanese pronunciation “Kashio” of “Tsukuo”, and Tsukuo Toshio has developed some new products, including “cigarette ring” by virtue of his natural originality. At that time, just after World War II, Japanese goods were in short supply, and people who smoked would smoke until the last bite. Therefore, Toshio Tsuo invented a ring-shaped cigarette holder, so that you can smoke at work. Tadashio Zunwei is responsible for making this kind of ring, while their father Shigeru Zunwei is responsible for selling it. With the increasing orders, cigarette rings soon became a hot-selling product. The profit of cigarette rings laid the foundation for the development of new calculators.
