The Akan International Crane Center, Kushiro
The Japanese crane is considered to be the biggest and most beautiful bird in Japan. Mandom had renamed the
company "Tancho Corporation" based on a then popular product "Tancho Tique".(Tancho means 'Japanese crane'.)
The crane has been a valued motif of ours and since 2006 we have supported this
Kushiro City “Tancho” Red-Crowned Crane Protection Association
that feeds, protects, and studies this magnificent bird.
