Usui Shokufu Co., Ltd.
Started dyeing in the middle of the Edo period at Mitsudera in present-day Kameyama. In 1949, the company was established from Usui Shoten, which was a private business, to the current Usui Usui Shokufu Co. Ltd. Today, when kimonos are worn less and less in everyday life, the company produces a variety of products by utilizing traditional stripe patterns in modern colors and patterns, while maintaining the manufacturing methods of the past.
