A juridical foundation, Ken-yusha, Inc, was established on 15th March 1948. This year we had the 60th anniversary.
The mission of the foundation was to support Railway Technical Research Institute, Japanese National Railways, particularly to make RTRI's research results fit for practical use and promote their research activities.
After the privatization and division of the Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, with the establishment of the JR (Japan Railways) Companies, the RTRI became also a juridical foundation. Both institutes collaborate as sister foundations, though the size and ability extremely differ. Actually, Ken-yusha acts as a kind of subsidiary of the RTRI in areas of RTRI related publication, information dissemination, seminar operation secretariat, technical information investigation, etc.
