Shibata Yoshinobu Shōten

Asakusa & Sumida River


Shibata Yoshinobu Shōten brings the craft of magewappa (an artisanal style of woodwork made with thin strips of cedar that are steamed and formed into useful shapes) from Akita to Asakusa. The best-selling items here are the bentō (lunch boxes), stitched with cherry bark, that come with care instructions in English.
