Japanese Beginnings
The story of the EightStar Diamond Company begins in Japan, with a visionary businessman named Mr. Takanori Tamura.
For two decades until the early 1980s, Mr. Tamura owned the largest distributorship of Sony products in Japan. He had a small army of sales people and did hundreds of millions in business. He was a gentleman in Japanese business society, a university graduate who propelled himself to the top.
On his 43rd birthday in 1984, Mr. Tamura sent a shock wave through his company when he announced he was retiring and turning the operation over to his employees. For this, he was headline news all over Asia.
