Kodaira together with Hiroumi Yamaguchi and Masaru Matano (all master luthiers) set up the Asturias guitar label. Asturias guitars have always been regarded as very high-grade concert guitars. Kodaira continued to make guitars under his name while working for Asturias. Kodaira guitars and Asturias guitars were virtually identical, even the labels were the same.
