Founded in Kyoto in 1831. The company has been in business for 193 years.
During the second generation, the company devised and popularized the "go-noren" (bamboo blind), which had been used only by the imperial court and warrior class, so that it could be used by the general public.
Bamboo crafts in Kyoto, which until then consisted mostly of daily utensils such as colanders, were introduced to the culture of the tea ceremony and flower arrangement, and together with "SUDARE," laid the foundation for the present Kyoto bamboo crafts.
