The excellent "shodo" (calligraphy) work announcement in January at the "shodo" contest in "Shukan NY Seikatsu" (Newspaper in NYC) which we sponsor.
We will present our Kumano-Fude (calligraphy brush made in Kumano, Japan) to the winners for the Year 2020 as an extra prize.
Mr. Yasubei Shiromoto (great-great-grandfather of the current President) became a brush craftsman in 1869 (Meiji 2) and started fude-making in Kumano Town.
Mr. Shodai Joichi Shiromoto received the license from Hiroshima Prefecture as "Fude Yui (making and selling brushes)" first in Kumano Town in January 1881 (Meiji 14), and we, as a company named “Shiromoto Shouten,” started brush manufacturing and selling, officially. Therefore, January 1881 is the official foundation year of our company.
We celebrate our 151st anniversary of brush-making, and we appreciate your long-time patronage to our company and our brushes!
