Sorry that I missed youre reply pnegyesi, I've been sick the last few days.

So Oguerrerob steels the point before it could hit the pro section.

It is indeed a Takuri from Japan  The first internal combustion car produced in Japan. according to my source it was 1907 though, but the year was not the question. only 10 were built before the company folded

I´ve got another name and another year for this. But it is an early japanese car in any case and there may have been translation errors.

I´ve got to check this and declare this:

Sorry for the delay.
I´ll give you the point.

The car´s name Takuri seems to be a nickname.

I´ve had it saved as "Shintaro Yoshida, first japanese car, 1902"

I´ve had it saved as "Shintaro Yoshida, first japanese car, 1902"

Komanosuke Uchiyama was a technician at the Sorinshokai bicycle dealership in Ginza and Shintaro Yoshida was the dealership manager/operator. In 1902, Uchiyama built a car for Yoshida (chassis and body) and installed a petrol engine which Yoshida had imported from the USA.

In 1907, Uchiyama built another car for Yoshida, but this time Uchiyama built everything from scratch, including the engine. This is the puzzle car - the first all-Japanese internal combustion automobile, nicknamed 'Takuri' to represent the rattling noises the car made.

Uchiyama built additional copies of this car, which were sold by Yoshida under the brand 'Yoshida'.

Here are better versions of the two 'Takuri' images that already appear in this thread, along with a photo of one of the 'Yoshida' automobiles:
