History of Mitsubishi logo


In 1854 a man named yataro iwasaki who was a son of provincial farmer whose grandfather sold the family's samurai status to settle some debt, at the age of 19 he was asked to stop school and called back to his home because his father was injured in a dispute with the villagers and village leader. Iwasaki asked a local magistrate to hear his case, and when refused, he was accused in the corruption case. Due to this Iwasaki was wantedly jailed for seven months.

After returning from the jail in the year 1858, Iwasaki started working for the Tosa clan in order to move on his life. when the Meiji Restoration abolished Japan's feudal clan system (which made iwasaki's grandfather to sell all their property). He acquired Tsukumo Shokai, the Tosa clan's shipping business and renamed it Mitsubishi in the year 1873.

A man named Kayota Iwasaki, who came from the generation of iwasaki turned Mitsubishi into a giant corporate group that included an automobile manufacturing company named Mitsubishi Motors.

The name Mitsubishi was a combination of the words "mitsu" means three and "bishi"means a water chestnut, used in Japan to mean a rhombus or a diamond shape.The translation of the mitsubishi logo name is "three diamonds." The mitsubishi logo includes iwasaki's ideas in it.
