藤崎呉服店
Fujisaki Kimono Store
About this photo
This photo shows Fujisaki, a kimono store in Sendai. It appears in Nihon no Meisho (Famous Sights of Japan), published in 1900 (Meiji 33). It shows Fujisaki as a kimono fabric store, before it grew into one of the leading department stores of the Tohoku region.
Fujisaki began in 1819 as Ebisuya, a cotton shop opened near the Basho no Tsuji crossroads in Omachi 1-chome, in the castle town of Sendai. Two years later, the founder, Fujisaki Saburosuke, became a kimono merchant approved by the domain. In 1879 (Meiji 12) it opened a shop in Omachi 4-chome and began selling at retail, and in 1912 (Meiji 45) it became a stock company, Fujisaki Gofukuten (Fujisaki Kimono Store).
In 1919 (Taisho 8) it built a store where goods were laid out on display, and began to grow into a department store. In 1930 (Showa 5) it changed its name to the present "Fujisaki." More than 200 years after its founding, it is still a local department store in the heart of Sendai.
