History of the TSE
The first Tokyo Stock Exchange started in 1878 as part of the westernization of Japanese finance and industry during the Meiji Period. During the war the Tokyo exchange was combined with exchanges in other cities. In 1949 the new Tokyo Stock Exchange opened at its present Nihonbashi location.
Since 2012, the Tokyo Stock Exchange has featured the Tokyo Pro Market, geared for professional investors and characterized by a designated adviser, or "J-Adviser," system.
