“KARIMOKU”

If I'm going to use a 100-year-old tree, I want to make furniture that is appropriate for its annual growth. This woodworking shop was founded in Kariya City, Aichi Prefecture in 1940 as a lumber shop that has been around since the Edo period. These are the roots of Karimoku Group. Initially, the company started out as a subcontractor for wood parts used in spinning machines, sewing machine tables, musical instruments, TV stands with legs, etc., and accumulated wood processing technology. In the 1960s, we introduced our original brand of furniture to the world. Since then, as a top manufacturer in Japan's wooden furniture industry, we have advocated "quality first" and continue to manufacture furniture in Japan that is particular about safety and security.

If 100 year-old tree is going to be used, furniture that is appropriate for its age should be made. A lumber store that has been around since the Edo period (the period between 1603 and 1868 in the history of Japan) was founded in 1940 in Kariya City, Aichi Prefecture. This is the root of the KARIMOKU Group. In the 1960s, the company introduced its original brand of furniture to the world. Since then, as a leading manufacturer of wooden furniture in Japan, the brand have continued to produce safe and secure furniture in Japan with a commitment to “supreme quality”.
