Matsunoya
Matsunoya - "Aranmono" Tools that Support Daily Life
Matsunoya is a wholesaler of "aramono" (daily sundries) established in 1945. Aranmono refers to simple household items like brooms, dustpans, baskets, and buckets, which were once found at the entrance or in the kitchen of every home.
The items we select are not expensive works of art or crafts. Nor are they mass-produced, disposable tools. They are "just right" tools that quietly blend into daily life, born from the hands of artisans in small factories and rural villages, and are "durable, affordable, and easy to use."
Matsunoya's Valued Perspectives
-
Leveraging the natural qualities of materials: We value materials that are close to nature, such as bamboo, iron, wood, and galvanized iron, and those that gain character with use.
-
Pursuit of functional beauty: Tools made with "use" as the top priority have no unnecessary ornamentation and possess a clean, beautiful form in themselves.
-
Connecting to modern life: We propose tools filled with traditional wisdom from a new perspective, so they blend into modern apartments and Western-style lifestyles.

This is a round bamboo basket made from high-quality bamboo from Sado Island, Niigata Prefecture.
