Hakuhodo, Ltd.
Founded in 1974 by Mr. Kazuo Takamoto, who broke away from his family business. Based on its policy of “brushes are tools,” the company produces and sells brushes for traditional handicrafts such as lacquer painting and ceramic painting, as well as a wide variety of brushes for makeup, calligraphy, industrial use, and other applications. In 1982, the company launched its own brand of brushes. The ‘Hakuhodo’ name became widely known after concluding an OEM contract with MAC of Canada in 1995, and they now supply products for about 70 companies on an OEM basis. For the purpose of disseminating information about traditional Japanese handcrafts and tool manufacturing, the company began publishing quarterly journals in 2003.
