To transplant mechanical industries to our country, the early Meiji Government, on the one hand, directly introduced Western machinery systems with Western engineers, and on the other hand, sent envoys and studants abroad to learn Western industrialization. Besides these people, craftsmen were only once dispatched to the Wien Exhibition in 1873, which was the remarkably unique attempt the government had ever done. Tsuneoki Fujishima, one of the twenty-four craftsmen who were sent to the exhibition, studied industrial engineering after the exhibition closed. He exhibited a surveying apparatus to it, and after it, learned the manufacturing technique of surveying apparatus for ships from Mr. Craft, who was one of the examiners at the Wien Exhibition and was a maker of sextant and other surveying apparatus. After his homecoming, Fujishima engaged in manufacturing dividing engines in the Kobusho, the Ministry of Industry, although the division of manufacturing surveying apparatus to which Fujishima had belonged was closed in 1876. Substantially discharged by the Kobusho, Fujishima established an instrument manufactory. He was the first manufacturer of dividing engines, sextants and theodolites in Japan. The very moment that made him drastically engage in the manufacturing instruments for surveying apparatus was the civil war during the last days of the Tokugawa regime. His manufacturing talent was found and flowered by the organization of craftsmen under the industrialization policy.
