TAISEI GROUP OF COMPANIES
TAISEI: ROOTED IN MEANING
Derived from the Dharma name (posthumous Buddhist name) of the founder Kihachiro Okura, “Taisei” is taken from a line in the Chinese classic texts, “Mencius.” It has a meaning of the “corpus” of people’s virtues, which can be associated with accomplishing something or gathering many pieces to build up something. As such, it was chosen as the most suitable name for our company.
“Kensetsu” is a translation of the English word “construction,” and it represents the fields of both civil engineering and building construction. Taisei was the first construction company that adopted it in its corporate name in Japan, and many other companies followed suit.
