Makita Shoten/Makita Shoten

We started our business in 1866 as a wholesaler of Kai silk textiles in Nishikatsura-cho, Yamanashi Prefecture. In 1946, the business, which had been dormant after the war, made a fresh start as <Makita Shoten>. In 1954, we began producing umbrella fabric and established a national position in ``yarn-dyed Western umbrella fabric.'' Today, we have grown into a company that handles everything from design to fabric manufacturing and product production, which is rare in Japan.
