Quite tidy but not so innovative like san rensho. I spent half a day at their shop (factory below, office above, typical of Japan). They had their own product line but also did contract building. Very well respected in Japan.
They were imported into the US for a while by DIN Industries using the trade name "Echelon". They had killer strong forks, so, as with Cinelli, the frame rather than the fork got trashed when crashed. I've repaired and/or refinished 5 or 6 of them. Ishiwata tubing if I recall correctly.
