History

Kumiko began in Okawa City about 300 years ago. In 1987, Okawa Kumiko was designated as a specialty craft by the governor of Fukuoka Prefecture, and in 2013, it was adopted by a leading Japanese industrial designer to decorate the interior of a luxury train. Masato Kinoshita was the leader of the Okawa craftsmen in that case.
