The dye brand Miyakozome is one of Japan's leading household dyes. We are the only dye brand in Japan that is particular about in-house production, in order to provide households with products of reliable quality and high safety. In 2017, we were the first in the world to receive an eco-passport for hand-dyes at home. We are confident in our ``100 Years of Colors,'' ``Japanese Colors,'' which have been patronized for over 100 years, and our ``Handmade Colors,'' which are each made with sincerity. Dyeing is a traditional Japanese culture. SOMENOVA is a place where you can easily enjoy the dyeing experience that was once popular. You can come empty-handed while shopping. Please stop by once.
