This article reconsidered the
Maiko bricks that J. Condor made to "AN ARCHITECT'S NOTES ON THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE OF OCTOBER, 1891." after the field investigation of the disaster area of the
Nobi earthquake, and the
Kansai Bricklay Co., which made the bricks. The following points became clarified.
Initially,
Kansai-renga-seisakuzyo was founded in 1886 at
Ozone of
Osaka by
Simeirou, and Wada
Hanbee participated in the capital in October 1887. The reason why the
Kasai-renga-seisakuzyo moved to
Maiko of
Hyogo at early time was that
Wada thought about the move of the factory. According to the document, the foundation of the
Kansai-Renga-Kaisya was in January 1888, the company's authorization was June 16, 1888, but the completion of the factory was at the end of January 1889. According to the newspaper report, the company started manufacturing bricks in February 1889, the company produced 30,000 bricks every day. I thought that the company invited the engineer from British as for the
Maiko brick having been slightly large with the front article, however, the reason was that the company manufactured the
Maiko bricks with brick making machines imported from the UK via the Hunter & Co.. In addition, the Hunter & Co. participated in the management of the company. The company exported more than half of the bricks to Canada as the ballast of foreign ship. The Maiko bricks were rather large size, I thought in the previous manuscript because the company invited British engineers. However, the reason was that the company imported brick making instruments from the UK through the Hunter & Co. produced bricks. The company's mark of
Kansai-Renga-Kabusikigaisya decides to combine three rectangles into a triangle by the company's advertisement. This stamp can also be confirmed on the brick used at the former the Hunter's mansion. And the Hunter & Co. was a stockholder of
Kansai-Renga-Kabusikigaisya.
