Yamato Transport
Yamato Transport Co., Ltd. (ヤマト運輸株式会社, Yamato Un'yu Kabushiki Kaisha?, TYO: 9064; listing is as Yamato Holdings) is one of Japan's largest door-to-door delivery service companies with market share of 41%, competing closely with Sagawa Express and Nippon Express.

The company's logo is a yellow oval with a black mother cat carrying her kitten in her mouth, symbolizing the company's promise that they take care of items entrusted to them as though the items were their own family. The logo is as familiar in Japan as the Coca-Cola logo is in the United States. The logo was originally used by American company Allied Van Lines. In 1957 Yamato obtained permission to use this logo.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
