“Maya” , Rokkomann deluxe were brands named used by a
Japanese Trading Company from Kobe called Rokkoman. In the early 1970s
Tahara-san had a factory in Matsumoto Japan that was engaged primarily in
the production of lower-mid range acoustic guitars, but they also made some
mandolins. Mandolins were a minor portion of their total output. Mr
Tahara’s factory in Matsumoto went into bankruptcy in the mid to late 1970s
after which he moved to Tateshina outside of Maruko-machi in Nagano
Prefecture where he focused exclusively on Mandolin production.
