An Edo-noren and Edo-senshagaku specialty store that conveys the beauty of the Edo-style characters
As a specialty shop producing Edo-noren (Japanese fabric dividers) and Edo-senshagaku (a wooden tablet presented in celebration of the opening of a new store), we have been in business in Tsukiji since around 1931 when the Tsukiji Market was first inaugurated. We also sell komafuda (signboard) straps and pochi-bukuro (envelopes for monetary gifts). In addition to selling these products, we give lectures on the history / purpose of Edo characters and their difference from other characters, as well as organize experience workshops called “Let’s experience Edo characters!”.

Direction: A five-minute walk from Tsukiji Station Exit 1 on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line, or a ten-minute walk from Tsukijishijo Station Exit A1 on the Toei Subway Oedo Line

Special Notes: “Lets’s experience Edo characters!” Participation fee 2,500 yen. Instruction is in Japanese only. Please refer to our website for the workshop schedule.
