On the homepage of Tabuchi Kaiun Co., Ltd – a Japanese shipping company established at Tokyo – we see the house flag as a drawing and, I gather, flying over the firm’s headquarters on a photo.
Unfortunately there does not seem to be an English version yet so this little report will remain very little indeed. All I have been able to discover is that Tabuchi Kaiun transports LPG and cement – and sponsors the 14th Osaka European Film Festival held in November 2007
The house flag is horizontally divided White-Red-Blue-White.

Osaka. Seven stripes of red and white; in the center
of the top 4 stripes a white upsidedown "Y".
Jarig Bakker, 9 October 2005
The Taiyo Kisen K.K. flag is a horizontal multiband
of 4 red and 3 white with the middle white forking up in the centre to reach the
top of the upper white band and from this point extending to the flag chief as a
vertical white band. This is a popular name and through various editions of Lloyds
I have found some 12 allegedly different companies since the 1950s. It probably
relates to the company still operating based in Osaka formed in 1950 but apparently
a Japanese book domiciles the company in Tokyo and it may therefore apply to one
of the small companies recorded over time as being based in that port.

The firm was founded in 1901. Besides shipping there are logistic activities including, surprisingly, airship operations.
