What you’ll find

What Higosomekoubou is known for

This hand-dyeing workshop in western Kumamoto City produces happi coats, noren curtains and shrine and school flags entirely by hand, taking custom commissions from restaurants and festival committees across the region. Its HIGOSOME SHOP line applies the same dye techniques to everyday goods like hand towels and T-shirts.
