[Our Imadegawa Showroom Is a 100 Year Old Kyoto Townhouse]

The Imadegawa Showroom, located in Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto, with our head office, is open Tuesday through Thursday from 14:00 to 17:00. Come and feel the world of us, Shokunin.com, in a 100-year-old Kyoto townhouse.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the bustling city, Nishijin still retains machiya townhouses that were built by Nishijin textile artisans as a "workplace and residence in one." And this is the only one of the five showrooms in Japan where you can see the products actually used in daily life. Of course, most of the items available in our online store are available in new condition. If you would like to know in advance whether we have the item you are looking for, please contact us.

In the Imadegawa Showroom, "pieces of Kyoto" can be seen here and there, such as the kitchen with its old earthen floor, a furnace built for the tea ceremony, and a small tsuboniwa garden with seasonal views.

We hope that through the experience of picking up crafts for daily use in this place directly connected to daily life, visitors will feel the uniquely Japanese values that have been cultivated through history and culture. Please feel free to visit us.

*Please bring your passport to get a tax-free service.

[MokuNeji Toy Grip]

A wooden toy grip that becomes a "rattle" when attached to a plastic bottle. The handle is made of natural beech wood and painted with 100% natural sesame oil and lacquer, so it is safe even if children lick it.

Each item is carefully handmade using the rokuro technique of Yamanaka lacquerware, which has been handed down since the Nara period. The curved shape is streamlined to fit small hands and grown-up children's hands.

It contains gold and silver bells for your child's long life, Japanese pesticide-free soybeans, black beans, and flower beans for growth. Please put your favorite items in the bottle and enjoy the gentle sound.
