Here is the catalog of Fuji Japan-America bicycle in the middle of 1960s. Fuji Japan-America bicycle started their business in 1899. Then it established Japan-America trading company next year.
At first, the company imported American bicycle to Japan and sold it. Then they began to export their products to USA around the end of 1950s. At Japan, the company promptly sold junior sports bicycle which was equipped with an electronic blinker.
Their products were used at bicycle competition by amateur and professional (Keirin) athletes. Moreover the company released professional sports bicycle such as road-racing model, track-racing model, and randonneur model as the Olympic brand.
In 1996, the company was merged by Toshoku which was a middle commercial company. Later, Toshoku itself was bankrupted. As a result, the bicycle division was sold to US capital. Since then the company continues the business, and Fuji brand bicycle has been imported to Japan until now.
