This company began its life in 1920 as the Toyo Cork Kogyo Co. in
Hiroshima, Japan. At the time, there was a cork shortage because of
World War I, so the company was founded to process a cork substitute
made from the bark of an Abemaki or Chinese cork oak tree. It was a
good idea at the time, but shortly afterwards Japan could get real cork
again and the company foundered.
In 1927, Jujiro Matsuda came onboard and the company began
manufacturing tools, three-wheeled "trucks" and then cars. After World
War II, the company formally adopted its present name, which depending
on who you ask, stood for the Zoroastrian god Ahura _____ or an
anglicized pronunciation of Matsuda the founder's name (or both).
In the 1936 the logo was inspired by the emblem of Hiroshima city. The
1991 and 1992 logos symbolized a wing, the Sun and a circle of light.
The company's current logo, nicknamed the "owl" logo, was designed by
Rei Yoshimara in 1997. The stylized version was meant to look like
stretched wings, but many people saw a stylized tulip instead.
