Overview

Amadamu Co., Ltd. (株式会社アマダム) is a Japanese company headquartered in the Kamiya district of Kita-ku, Tokyo. It was established on 9 September 1997 under the name Taniguchi Co., Ltd. (株式会社タニグチ) and began operations in Kawaguchi, Saitama Prefecture. In January 2001 the company changed its name to Amadamu Co., Ltd. The company describes its printing division as its 'backbone and legs' (足腰), indicating that printing is a core business, while it also proposes a lifestyle centered on bamboo ('竹と暮らす'). Its registered capital is 30 million yen. The representative director is Keiko Taniguchi (谷口敬子). Amadamu operates from its own headquarters building at 2-40-9 Kamiya, Kita-ku, Tokyo, and also maintains a special processing plant (特練工場) at 3-17-2 Kamiya in the same ward. Overseas, it has a liaison office in Shanghai, China, and a presence in Myanmar through Amadam Ink & Paper in Yangon. Its main banking relationships include branches of the former Japan Finance Corporation for Small and Medium Enterprise, Tokyo-Mitsubishi Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Bank, Musashino Bank, and Sugamo Shinkin Bank. Key business partners include T&K TOKA, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries East Japan Sales, Komori Corporation, Musashi, Sakata INX, and Ayumi. The company articulates a management philosophy inspired by Gandhianism, emphasizing self-sufficient small units and coexistence with nature rather than sheer scale or self-proliferation. It positions itself as a collection of small, independently profitable companies where each employee's work is directly reflected in the business. This philosophy underpins its aim to provide 'products and services with blood running through them' to customers. Amadamu's history includes the establishment of its special processing plant in August 2003, its first exhibition at IGAS (International Graphic Arts Show) in September 2003, and the relocation of its headquarters to the current Kamiya address in October 2003. The company continues to operate in printing and related fields, while promoting a bamboo-based lifestyle concept.
