SHIKANKO dates back to 1813, when the Kabuki actor Nakamura Utaemon the third opened a store across from the Daimaru kimono store in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, selling “SHIKANKO” Bintsuke oil.
Later, while keeping close to the aesthetic sense of each era, the company expanded its business to cosmetic tools such as eyebrow wax, white powder, hairpins, and combs, and in the Meiji period, expanded to women's goods using tortoiseshell and coral.
Now, two centuries after our founding, we are returning to our roots.

In order to shed new light on the world of Kabuki, the foundation of Shibawanka, we signed a licensing agreement with Shochiku and developed watches, rings, and necklaces designed in the motif of “Kumadori,” the symbol of Kabuki.
This is a new challenge where tradition and innovation resonate.

The sense of beauty that has been passed down over the past 200 years is now being passed on once again.
Wearing tradition, for you.
