Sorry that I have taken time to answer. At first I was a bit confused. But once I realised that there were eight characters, and that they were written in standard script rather than seal script it became clear.

On the basis of my first suggestion that it is Japanese, the seal would read:

TO (island); TEI (established, settled); DO (copper); KO (fragrance, incense); KAISHA (company, corporation); SEIZO (manufacture).

Perhaps a Japanese speaking Forum member can further elucidate.
