In the middle 30s, the term Janome became the official trademark for the company but that was still 20 years before it became the company name.ġ5 years after its founding, Pine bought its first mass-producing factory to help it make more machines and get them out to the market sooner. These bobbins looked like snake eyes and the Japanese for that term was Janome.

This new round bobbin look turned out to be the source for the company name that would come about 33 years later. This new system was a vast improvement over the long shuttle system many early pioneers used when making their own sewing machine models. 1921 was the year that Yasaku Ose started Pine Sewing Machine company and it was the same year that he invented the round metal bobbin system.
