Today, guided by the vision of "Revitalizing Japanese craftsmanship!", the company collaborates with artisans across the country to deliver practical "everyday items" that add color to modern life.

Among its products, the brand's signature items are its "flower dishcloths" and "kaya-ori dishcloths."

Made from five layers of Nara's traditional "kaya-ori" fabric, Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten's highly popular "kaya-ori dishcloth."
