Origin of corporate name, "YA" "MA" "WA". Mr. Jokichi Watanabe, the founder of the company, decided to use shop name "YA" "MA" "WA", which he had been using in his family business instead of using his personal name. And he gave to his company the name "YA" "MA" "WA" by employing lucky words and the same connotaion "YAMAWA" from ancient Japanese characters, MANYOGANA. The meaning of YAMAWA is "Greater prosperity, More united". In this word, he put a wish "as the company becomes prosperous, the harmony among employees becomes more precious".
