Why it belongs in ORBIS
A five-story fabric and craft-supply store in Naha's Shurisueyoshicho district, Okinawa, stocking fabric, yarn, beads, ribbon and sewing notions across multiple floors; a fixture for local quilters, sewers and knitters.
Rainbow House is a multi-story fabric and craft-supply store in the Shurisueyoshicho area of Naha, Okinawa, housed in a distinctive building set back from Route 82. Rather than a boutique selling finished handmade goods, it functions as a supply store for makers: floors are organized by material, with fabric taking up the larger footprint and additional levels devoted to sewing notions, yarn, beading supplies, ribbon, and paint. It draws a steady following among local and visiting quilters, knitters, and sewers. The shop runs a storewide sale in the fourth week of each month, Thursday through Sunday, and accepts cash only.
