Tamaya established a shop selling lenses for eye glasses. The

It was during the Meiji Era (18681912), in 1901, that Tamaya
Meganeten was renamed as Tamaya Shoten and became a
UC200V/UC300V
partnership company. Tamaya Shoten was the first Japanese
company to import surveying equipment from overseas and to
TD4 distribute them in Japan. It is also the first company to produce
a surveying equipment (a pocket compass in its original form) in
Japan. In 1894 Tamaya Shoten was licensed to make a ruler (a
MS733,MS833
device with which to measure lengths) in its original form. By
the end of the Meiji Era, Tamaya Shoten developed its own
NC2100G transit and level.

During the Taisho Era (19121926), Tamaya Shoten was making
more and more surveying equipment in Japan, as opposed to
importing finished products from abroad. It was making levels
FV301 and theodolites, and by 1922 made the first sextant in Japan. In
August 1901, Tamaya Shoten became a corporation.
