🏮 About Misuya Chubei (Kyoto)
Established in 1819 (the 2nd year of the Bunsei era), Misuya Chubei is a world-renowned needle specialist located in the heart of Kyoto. For over 200 years, they have preserved the secret techniques of needle-making that were once dedicated to the Imperial Court.
Misuya needles are famous for their "secret of the eye" and incredible smoothness, allowing them to glide through fabric without resistance. This is not just a tool; it is a piece of Kyoto's living history.
