Kyoto Industrial Conference Hall
In order to overcome the economic depression that hit every major city in Japan in 1877, members of the business community got together to create a movement to establish an industrial conference hall. In 1882, a private organization based on a membership system was set up on Kawaramachi Sanjo with Takaki as director and three others Kotetsu Hamaoka, Shichisaburo Nishimura and Ichida as associate directors. Their first task was to establish and direct an industrial union. The formation of the trade association totalled 112 members. In 1890, an ordinance for the conference hall was promulgated and in the following year, the industrial conference hall was built with Kotetsu Hamaoka as its first head. From 1928, the conference hall was moved, but with the intensification of the war, the Kyoto Industrial Economic Group was formed in 1921 to control and strengthen the economy. After the war, in 1946, the incorporated association Kyoto Industrial Conference Hall was opened with elected as its director.
