Takashimaya Co., Ltd. (株式会社髙島屋 Kabushiki-gaisha Takashimaya?) is a Japanese company that operates a department store chain carrying a wide array of products, ranging from wedding dresses and other apparel to electronics and flatware.
Takashimaya was listed at #1197 on the Forbes Global 2000 list for 2006.
Takashimaya is a member of the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFJ) keiretsu.
The first Takashimaya store was opened in Kyoto in 1831 as a sole proprietorship owned by Shinshichi Iida, a merchant from present-day Fukui Prefecture. The original store in Kyoto was only 3.6 square meters in area and specialized in selling gofuku (formal kimono). A second Kyoto store opened in 1893, followed by a Tokyo store in 1897 and an Osaka store in 1898. Takashimaya was incorporated as a gomei kaisha (unlimited liability company) in 1909 and converted to a kabushiki kaisha (stock company) in 1919.
Takashimaya began an export business in 1876, following the Meiji Restoration, and established an in-house trading unit in 1887. By 1903 Takashimaya had offices in Paris and London and an export office in Yokohama. The trading unit was spun off as a new stock company, Takashimaya-Iida (高島屋飯田株式会社?), in 1913. Takashimaya-Iida later merged with the trading company Marubeni.
