"Chikazawa Lace" is a lace specialty store located in Motomachi, Yokohama. It is characterized by intricate lace featuring original designs and artisanal craftsmanship, and it boasts such popularity that new items sell out almost immediately upon release.
There are many passionate fans who often purchase multiple pieces at once, sometimes to collect all color variations of the same item, or for gifting purposes.

Chikazawa Lace was founded in 1901 as a silk export merchant before transitioning to a linen store. Initially, they made custom tablecloths, bed linens, handkerchiefs, and summer open-collar blouses for foreign customers. Eventually, items adorned with lace gained popularity and became their main offerings.
Today, they offer a wide array of original products, from handkerchiefs to towels and mats in home collections, as well as pouches, T-shirts, and baby products in the fashion category.
