A One-of-a-Kind Bag Made from Antique Kimono Fabric: Muromachi Gofukuro

We create, nurture, and bring made-in-Japan items to the world in collaboration with local producers. Our goal is to create a positive cycle where everyone involved—those who make, sell, and use our products—can share a smile. This is the essence of our work.

Our company specializes in creating textile products. We take on a role akin to an orchestra conductor, overseeing every aspect of the process—from product design and planning to selecting the artisans for each stage, all the way through to the final product.

At Matsumoto Shoten, the heart of our craftsmanship lies in the invaluable contributions of the partners who work alongside us at each step. While preserving traditional techniques passed down through generations in established industries, we focus on crafting practical, everyday items that seamlessly integrate into daily life. Our approach emphasizes producing only what is necessary, minimizing waste, and promoting sustainability.
