Eastland Company

Japanese: イーストランド会社 - いーすとらんどかいしゃ
Eastland Company

...That is, there are two types of companies: regulated companies, which are essentially a collection of individual capitals and maintain the individuality of each member, and joint-stock companies, which concentrate the capital of investors to carry out a single business activity. The former, which is often translated as "union" and can be said to be a direct descendant of medieval guilds, are typified by the Staple Company, which controlled wool exports from England in the 15th century, and the Merchant Adventurers, which monopolized woolen exports to Northwestern Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. Other examples include the Eastland Company (founded in 1579), which developed trade in the Baltic Sea, and the Levant Company (which monopolized trade with the Eastern Mediterranean and Turkey after being reorganized in 1592). On the other hand, the early Moscow Company (also known as the Russian Company, founded in 1555) and the Levant Company (from their founding in 1581 to 1592) were joint stock companies.
