​In October​ ​2026, Tanseishawill celebrate its 80th anniversary.

Tanseisha's approach to creating spaces began in October 1946 when its founder, Masaharu Watanabe, started decorating the interiors of department stores in Ueno, Tokyo, during the post-war boom.

Building on our success in constructing pavilions for the 1970 World Expo (Osaka), we have continuously refined our technology and creativity, expanding our field as Comprehensive display business for 80 years since our founding.

Going forward, we will continue to leverage the diverse individual talents of each and every employee of the Tanseisha Group to create spaces that move people's hearts.
