Founded in Kyoto in 1891
A Pioneer of Medical and Nursing Educational Materials in Japan

Our roots can be traced back to 1891, when Shimadzu Corporation founder, Genzo Shimadzu Sr., began manufacturing scientific specimens for education.

In 1948, Kyoto Kagaku Co., Ltd. was established in order to continue the work being done by Shimadzu Corporation`s specimens division. Initially, we manufactured and sold models, specimens, and experiment equipment for use in the life and earth sciences.

In the early 1950`s, we began searching for new business opportunities and started creating replicas of cultural artifacts using new materials and manufacturing models for use beyond the scientific fields. Although we encountered many difficulties at first, the Japanese economy was booming, and we gradually grew our culture-related business. Eventually this business expanded beyond the creation of individual models and replicas to include other services, such as exhibit planning at cultural facilities.

In the sciences, we are contributing to education by expanding our business to include simulators and practice models that enhance the training of medical and nursing professionals.

Currently we are focusing our business resources on the medical training simulator and practice model field. We will continue to expand our field of vision from Kyoto to encompass the entire world, living up to our heritage as a pioneer and Japan`s leading manufacturer of educational materials for medical and nursing training.
