A traditional "Tairyo-bata" (big catch flag) dyer in the Hagi castle town that has continued since the Meiji era. Conveying the techniques of the vibrant flags fishermen once hoisted to celebrate a bountiful catch, each product is hand-dyed, featuring powerful colors and dynamic designs. Inside the shop, modern bags, tenugui towels, and accessories utilizing traditional big catch flag patterns are lined up, and they are highly evaluated by international tourists as "Japanese Art." Sometimes you can observe the craftsmen working up close, feeling the beauty of traditional Japanese dyeing and the passion of their craftsmanship. It is the best place to look for unique and high-quality souvenirs unique to Hagi.
