Our company is very proud of traditional Japanese culture and was established in Nara, a 1,300-year-old ancient city, in 1916 by OYAMA Unokichi, and is the oldest bamboo knitting needle manufacturer in Japan. Takayama-cho, Ikoma-shi has been producing tea whisks and teaspoons from long ago using bamboo.
When our company was first established, we used to mainly produce tools called ‘shinshi’ made of bamboo. Shinshi is a tool that was used after washing kimono to help hang the cloth up straight for drying.
