~ 2001-2003 First term ~ Founding and encounter with cards

At the time of our founding, we worked on various jobs with the goal of “I don’t like the job I was asked to do and accept any job!” One of the successful jobs was to distribute cards. This is the connection between our company and the card.

2001

History

Founded in Nishigotanda on January 31st.

Hyundai Omote founded Visionary Company Co., Ltd. in Nishigotanda, Shinagawa-ku. Founded by renting a part of a company run by seniors in college. The head office was a telephone with a fax function and a signboard made of cardboard.

At the time of its founding, it started with the main business of producing magazines and pamphlets related to the spiritual world and spirituality. This year, he was commissioned to produce the “Angel Card” series, which had just landed in Japan, and this will have a major impact on his later business.

2002

Business

Started wholesale sales of healing goods

Started a business to wholesale healing goods such as the “Angel Card” series that just landed in Japan. Initially, it was developing sales channels by diving into each house. We will start by outsourcing to 10 stores, mainly in Tokyo, such as natural stone, flower essence, and aromatherapy stores.

History

Moved to Iidabashi 2-chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo for business expansion
(second office move)

Since the office at the time of establishment was a 2DK rental condominium, it will be relocated to an office building of 17 tsubo. Around this time, there were four employees. All were personal acquaintances of the representative.

2003

Business

Over 500 wholesale transaction records

Around this time, the number of trading stores increased dramatically as a result of the boom in “angel cards” and sales activities using direct mail. However, as the number of transactions increases, the problem of inventory storage becomes apparent. I just moved in the previous year, but I am forced to move to a new office.

~ 2004-2005 Second term ~ Business expansion, overseas to look for cards that have not been seen yet

It turns out that the world of cards revolves around Europe, the United States and Australia. It was a time when we repeatedly visited these countries and sought “what will happen to the card market in Japan in the future?”

2004

History

Moved to 1-chome, Iidabashi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo for business expansion
(third office move)

Move from the previous office across the road. The area is 28 tsubo. There will be a reception space and inventory storage space, which will form the body of the office. Around this time, the number of employees will increase significantly due to business expansion.

Business

Import of overseas version tarot

Since there were many transactions that requested the handling of tarot cards, we signed a distributor contract with the long-established Italian tarot maker Lo Scarabeo. After that, we expanded our business to manufacturers in various regions such as U.S. Game (USA) and AGM (Switzerland).

2005

Business

Looking for a card I haven’t seen yet …

History

Reorganized from a limited company to a joint-stock company

It was a limited company from the time it was founded, but it was reorganized into a joint-stock company on the occasion of card publishing. The capital will be increased to 10 million yen and the registration will be changed to Visionary Company Co., Ltd.

~ 2006-2007 Third term ~ Start publishing cards that have not landed in Japan one after another

Looking for an Australian card …
