About 三京堂（Sankyodo）
The Origin of Our Name
Founded in 1945 in Oyama, Tochigi.
With Kyoto to the west and Tokyo in the east, Oyama stands along the two great capitals.
The name Sankyodo embodies our founder Yoshinosuke Yamazaki's wish: to make Oyama a "miyako"-a cultural capital-alongside Kyoto and Tokyo.
Message from the President
Takaichi Yamazaki, President, Sankyodo Co., Ltd.
Japan is blessed with four beautiful seasons and many distinct climate and cultural environment.
Tea utensils and ikebana tools enable us to feel those seasons and cultural landscapes.
Across Japan, there is a wide spectrum of works by artisans who support these arts, and some historic pieces carry several centuries of lineage.
We strive each day to bring such excellent works into the hands of as many customers as possible.
The spirit of Chanoyu has long been expressed as "wakei seijaku (harmony, respect, purity and tranquility)" as well as "omotenashi (the spirit of hospitality)."
With sincerity, we will continue to support chanoyu and ikebana-traditions that are the cultural heritage of Japan-so that they may flourish far into the future.
