Shibagonko is a high-end jewelry brand with a long history in Japan. It has original design brands such as "Or heure", "IZANAMI", and "VENUS", as well as jewelry selected from well-known domestic and foreign designers, with a rich variety of categories. In the Edo period (1813), the brand was founded by the third generation Kabuki actor Nakamura Utaemon in Shinsaibashi, Osaka. Initially, it mainly sold traditional hair oils called "Shibagonko". Later, it began to sell traditional Japanese hair accessories and accessories in response to customer demand. Since the Meiji period, Shibagonko has been committed to helping customers realize their wishes. With more than 200 years of history and experience, we provide customers with enduring products and eternal service spirit.
The "DENSHO -Tradition-" series inherits the two hundred years of history of Shibagonko and appropriately shows the brand's return to its roots. Shibagonko began in 1813 (Bunka 10), when the founder, Kabuki actor Utaemon the Third, opened a shop selling Shibagonko across from the Daimaru Kimono Shop in Shinsaibashi, Osaka. Shibagonko is a foundation oil used by actors and geishas before applying white makeup. Since then, Shibagonko has evolved with the times to meet the needs of different customers, selling products such as eyebrow shaping, powder, hairpins and combs, and women's products made of tortoise shells and corals in the Meiji era, and now mainly jewelry. For a long time, the store has been adhering to the spirit of "meeting customer needs" and has been dealing in a wide variety of products. Now, more than 200 years after its establishment, it has returned to its roots and once again focused on Japan's beautiful traditional performing art - Kabuki. In order to pass on the charm of traditional Japanese culture to future generations at home and abroad, Shibagonko signed a licensing agreement with Shochiku Co., Ltd. to sublimate Japan's traditional performing arts into exquisite jewelry and developed watches, rings and necklaces designed with Kumadori as the prototype.
