Our Strength

Three reasons we are chosen.

No.01

Founded 1749 ·
276 years of trust

The discernment of a house founded in the Edo period. Knowing the ryokan and hotel floor first-hand, we deliver quality made for commercial use — durability, launderability and a good feel against the skin.

No.02

Small lots ·
short lead times

"Just the shortfall" or "a small quantity to start" are equally welcome. Rather than relying on bulk orders, we arrange flexibly to match each property's size and busy seasons.

No.03

Yukata to amenities,
one source

Yukata, obi, happi, towels, linens and amenities from a single supplier. We consolidate your purchasing into one window and lighten the load on your staff.

Company

A long-established house,
still beside the floor.

In 1749 (Kan'en 2), our founder Gonemon Mokichi Otou opened a shop named "Kotobuki-ya." For 276 years since, here in Asakura, Fukuoka, we have traded in yukata, towels and bedding. Holding our own warehouse stock, we can move quickly on "just the shortfall" or "a small quantity" — the strength of a local wholesaler.
