“A building is not a product, but a work of art.” These words, spoken by Toemon Takenaka, the founder of Takenaka corporation, continue to guide us today. And the commitment to quality they represent is something we will never change. As a company that has been in existence since the early 17th century, we intend to take the long view – building not only for the present generation, but for generations yet to come. This, in essence, is Takenaka.
