Japanese traditions,from Asakusa
to everyday life.
unomisé is an Asakusa-born gift and lifestyle brand created by Miyamoto Unosuke Shoten, a maker founded in 1861. For generations, Miyamoto Unosuke Shoten has crafted mikoshi portable shrines, taiko drums, festival implements, and other objects that support Japan's festival culture and traditional performing arts.
Alongside original pieces made in our own Asakusa workshop, unomisé offers products created in collaboration with traditional craftspeople, artists, and contemporary creators from across Japan. Each piece carries Japanese tradition forward while finding a natural place in everyday life around the world.
From Unomise Miyamoto
The Craft of Miyamoto
Unosuke Shoten
In our Asakusa workshop, artisans practice a wide range of specialized skills—lacquering, decorative metalwork, hide stretching, and woodwork—each essential to the making of mikoshi, taiko drums, and festival implements. This work has long supported Japan's festivals and traditional performing arts. The original pieces created for unomisé bring the brightness and spirit of celebration into everyday life.
