Over 150 years of Japanese hairpin craftsmanship

Hairpins are often left casually on bathroom counters or vanity tables.
Did you know that every single one of them is packed with over 150 years of Japanese manufacturing expertise?
We are a hairpin manufacturer founded in 1871 (Meiji 4). Since our inception, we have consistently produced hairpins, which have now become an everyday essential.


Pioneering Japan’s first fully automated hairpin production
When we were founded, there were no hairpin manufacturers in Japan capable of meeting international standards.
After much trial and error, we completed the country's first fully automated hairpin manufacturing machine.
This challenge became the foundation for the high-quality craftsmanship we provide today.




Trusted quality chosen by professionals worldwide
From material selection to processing and finishing, everything is Made in Japan.
Our hairpins, crafted without compromise, have been supported by professional hairstylists for many years and boast the top market share in Japan.
They are even used on global stages, including Paris Fashion Week and shows for luxury brands.




Making your daily styling more comfortable
We value not only the look but also the feel of our products.
We offer a lineup designed for various needs and hair types, including pins that hold securely without slipping, are comfortable for long-term wear, are designed to be gentle on the hair and scalp, come in a wide range of sizes and colors, and include surgical stainless steel options for those with metal allergies.




Bringing professional-grade quality closer to you

We launched this online shop out of a desire to make our hairpins, which have primarily been used in professional settings, easily accessible for you to use at home.
Our products are characterized by the use of unique technology to maximize the inherent qualities of the materials, resulting in a safe and easy-to-use finish.

“A user-friendly form must always be accompanied by functionality.”
Since our founding, this theme has been at the core of our integrated approach to planning, development, and manufacturing.

We hope to help as many people as possible experience how our pins can make daily styling a little easier and provide a noticeable difference in the final result.
