| The
history of Toshiba Lighting |
| The
first electric light used for illumination purposes in Japan was lit
on March 25, 1878. It was a Duboscq arc lamp, switched on at a banquet
held in cerebration of the opening of the central office of Tokyo
Central Telegraph Station ( Now, Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications). |
| The
engineers of this event were Professor W.E.Aryton of Imperial College
of Engineering ( Faculty of Engineering, Tokyo University), and his
colleague Mr.Ichisuke Fujioka who would later go on found Hakunetu-Sha
& Co.Ltd. |
| The
very first lighting of an incandescent light took place on June 25,
1884 at the commencement ceremony of the railroad line running from
Ueno to Takasaki. |
| Twenty
four incandescent lights with one arc light placed in the center were
lit to welcome the Japanese Emperor and Empress, who made an appearance. |
| Professor
Ichisuke Fujioka is the person credited for the development of the
incandescent bulb in Japan. |
| In
order to develop an incandescent bulb demestically, he was appointed
Chief Engineer at Tokyo Electric Illumination Company ( Now, Tokyo
Electric Power Company ). |
| On
April 1, 1890, Professor Fujioka in cooperation with Masakazu Miyoshi,
one of the most successful electric appliance manufacturers at that
time, established Hakunetu-Sha & Co.Ltd. in Tokyo. |
| The
result of this merger was the official production of incandescent
bulbs in Japan. |
| Hakunetu-Sha
is now called TOSHIBA LIGHTING & TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION which
today is a leader in lighting technology. |
