In the new book Japanese Steel there is a section on tubing. It seems tat even as Japanese Steel like Tange Prestige and higher end Ishiwata steels were eclipsing Columbus and Reynolds, the branding was more at the level of the frame maker. It was also common to mix and match tubes.

Rivendell gets top billing and doesn’t share the spotlight with the tube maker.
