Takubo

Takubo was founded nearly 70 years ago by Sakae Hozumi, who began crafting Shimenawa from the rice terraces surrounding his community. From the start, the company has remained rooted in local nature and tradition.

Today, Takubo continues to handcraft Shimenawa, green straw works, and household items using time-honored methods. Each piece reflects the care, skill, and heritage of its makers.

These straw crafts embody the hopes and prayers of traditional communities—family safety, prosperity, and good harvests. Made with bright, fragrant green straw, they age beautifully over time and can be displayed anywhere your heart chooses.
