"Saruya" is an interesting store name. It seems that there are two theories about this origin.

 

①The monkey had a toothpick sign or two small monkeys because his teeth were white, and sold the toothpick.

 

 "Saruya" is the only toothpick specialty store in Japan that has been around for about 300 years.

 

He is also a member of the "Japan Long-established Hundred Stores Association". The toothpicks that have been used for a long time are Yang Yang Yang Yang Yang Yang Yang Yang Yang Yang Yang Yang Yong.

 

It seems that there are black letters, Ugi, etc. "Saruya" uses fragrant black letters when folded.

 

It is used and handmade one by one.

 

 In addition, a black toothpick is placed in a paulownia box and handwritten as "Kinsen Ryo" one by one is Japan.

 

He was awarded the Silver Prize at the packaging exhibition.

 

Japan can be said to be a symbol of "smart" and "practice" that can be proud of in the world.

 There was a "postcard tree" in front of Nihonbashi Post Office. What is the sharpness of this leaf?

 

It means that if you write something, it will remain clear.  "Tarayo Postcard Tree"

 

It's rare, isn't it?  It seems that this is the origin of the "postcard".

 

It was in front of the statue of "Maejima Mitsuru". Nihonbashi Post Office was April 20, 1871 (Meiji 4)

 

Along with the establishment of the modern post office system in Japan, the current Nihonbashi Post Office area was established with Ekiji and Yokkaichi.

 

Post Office (later Tokyo Central Post Office) has been set up.
