日本橋（人形町）に創業した龍工房は、組紐づくり一筋に歩んできた老舗工房です。「一条の紐に創作の心を」を理念に、熟練の職人が絹糸を染め上げ、一本一本丁寧に組み上げてきました。帯締・帯揚などの和装小物をはじめ、近年では椅子や傘、ステーショナリーなど、和装の枠を越えた新たな展開にも挑戦しています。

Founded in Nihonbashi (Ningyocho), Ryukobo is a long-established "kobo" workshop focused on the creation of kumihimo. Skilled craftspeople carefully dye and braid each individual silk thread under a philosophy of "Creativity in every cord". The workshop has traditionally produced obijime, decorative strings to hold "obi" kimono belts in place, and obiage, sash-like ornaments worn over obi belts, and other kimono accessories, but in recent years it has expanded into new fields and challenges including chairs, umbrellas, stationary, and other items, taking kumihimo beyond the world of traditional Japanese clothing.
