Nitto Record

Japanese label, also called the "Swallow Brand", because of its trademark artwork. The label produced numerous records of traditional Japanese music and art such as Jōruri, as well as solo plays of western music and orchestra recordings, although the latter remained small in the share of their overall production. It finally disappeared in 1942, when Dainippon Gramophone Co., Ltd. was absorbed by 大日本雄辯會講談社, shareholder of King Records, to become only a production facility of the latter.
