Our Business

We “Marujo Co., Ltd.” specialize in wholesaling high-quality kimono. Since our company was founded in 1951 in Nihombashi, Tokyo, we have been consistently trading only gofuku (silk kimono). Today, we have grown into the top seller company in this industry in Tokyo.

Our leading products are high-quality silk goods woven by traditional Japanese techniques. Taking advantage of our characteristic as a wholesaler, we offer a one-stop-service for our customers. In particular we have strength in handling any kimono textile in Japan and we can meet the wide-ranging needs of our customers.

The kimono is an important part of Japanese culture. Our mission is to introduce its true beauty to the world and to hand down our traditional culture from generation to generation.
