In 1879 Seiji Kaisha or the Pure Water Company, was founded by the original four members of Koransha; Tezuka Kamenosuke, Tsujii Katsuzo, Fukaumi Suminosuke and his brother, Takeji in Arita, who were at one time associated with Koransha or, The Scented Orchid Porcelain Company. The Seiji Kaisha Company with a modern factory produced highly competitive porcelain and dinner wares for the Western market, same as Koransha.
