August 5 is the anniversary of the founding of the Sugimoto family’s business “Naraya.”
Calling the day “Yadobairi (independent day),” we decorate tokonoma with items from that period, such as books and other articles carefully preserved in the storehouse. Please enjoy viewing our ancestors’ belongings and the Edo period’s history.
