the two competitive companies, it was finally agreed that they should 
amalgamate, and in September of the same year, the Nippon Yusen 
Kaisha (the Japan Mail Steamship Company, Litd.) first saw the

Consequent on the transfer of all the marine transport business 
to the new combination, the Mitsubishi turned its attention to the 
other enterprises upon which it had embarked, namely, mining, ship- 
building and banking, under the title of Mitsubishi Sha ( Mitsubishi 
Company), the whole concern growing slowly but steadfastly. Later 
on, in July 1893, when the Commercial Code was enacted in J apan, 
the Company was reformed to meet the requirements of the new 
law, and accordingly the Mitsubishi Goshi Kaisha was established in 
A sireet in the Marunouchi District
