In the Edo period, he ran a sword merchant in Hikage-cho, near the Sendai Domain's Kamiyashiki (currently near Shiodome Nippon Television), but the swords were no longer sold due to the abolition of swords. The founder, Genzo Takahashi, devised a cane equipped with a sword to dispose of the inventories, and went to a boat merchant in Yokohama to sell it.

At that time, he saw an Englishman walking around with a Western cane, and he thought it was a stick from now on. And in 1882, we founded a stick shop in Ginza 6-chome.

Prime Minister Shigemoto Yoshida liked sticking and often purchased it at "Ginza Taka Gen".
I especially liked bamboo, and it was preferred because the daimin rattan stick was light and durable.

Even if you come by car at the time of purchase, Mr. Yoshida does not get off the car and the secretary gets off the car, listens to your wishes, the shop carries the product to the car and selects it in the car I was You were so busy.

What I was particularly interested in was the stick with various shapes, such as animals, birds, and flowers, called "change handle sticks". Genichiro Takahashi, the fourth president, found it at an overseas exhibition and has been selling it for about 20 years.
The mainstream design of dogs, rabbits, birds, horses, etc., which are closely related to hunting and horse racing, is the hobby of European nobles, but some are rare, such as frogs and cobras.

The recommended product of the shop is a silver handle. There are about 40 kinds.

Sculptor designed by Yatagarasu, the emblem of the Japan Football Association: There is also a stick designed by Jinzo Hinago (Hinago Jizo).

I found that the polished "Ginza Taka Gen" stick is a fashionable item regardless of gender.
The root bamboo stick makes you feel the coolness of summer, maple and oak are used everyday, and ebony and silver sticks produce advanced fashion.
There is also a color sticker for women, so it would be fun to use it properly according to the TPO.

Also, in China, it is customary to give pigeon sticks to celebrate longevity, and it was said that they were also held in the court before the war.
Why don't you give a stick with the wish of "Please stay fashionable forever" to celebrate the elderly of your cheerful parents and grandparents?
