ISHIMINE KOBO

Established 48 years ago in the heart of Shuri, Naha, Okinawa, Ishimine Kobo is renowned for its traditional Ryukyu Bingata dyeing techniques. All patterns are meticulously hand-crafted, inspired by nature, including mountains, rivers, flowers, birds, and the sea. The vivid colors characteristic of the subtropical island of Okinawa are a hallmark of their work. They continue to focus on classical patterns, carrying forward the legacy of founder Shiroma, who has passed away. His wife has taken over as the representative, ensuring that the artistry and traditions of Ishimine Kobo live on
