Ovation Short Story of Japan - Nakao Corporation 50th Anniversary Commemorative Book
This is a commemorative publication produced by Nakao Corporation (中尾貿易株式会社) in December 2012 to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary, founded in February 1962. The book chronicles Nakao Corporation's history as the exclusive Japanese importer and distributor of Ovation guitars, detailing their business relationship with Kaman Music Corporation and their achievements, including being recognized as the world's second-largest Ovation market after the United States in 1993. The document concludes with a tribute to Charlie Kaman, the founder of Kaman Corporation and creator of the Ovation guitar. In order to make the content of this remarkable document accessible to as many people as possible, I asked AI to provide a translation, which you can find at the end. As I do not read Japanese, I cannot guarantee its full accuracy compared to the original text, but it remains a valuable aid nonetheless.
