About Yamakawa Rattan
Yamakawa Rattan was founded by Hichiro Yamakawa in 1952 in a storage room in the backyard of their home in Tokyo, Japan. He started the business to create jobs for his two sons, who were both hearing impaired. Both sons were skilled with their hands, making weaving a suitable craft for them.
Yuzuru Yamakawa, who fortunately did not share the same handicap as his brothers, was asked to join the company to help the family manage the business. He studied at design school at night while working in the business during the day.
Through his efforts and talent, Yamakawa Rattan grew to become one of the most renowned companies in Japan, specializing in creating high-quality, design-oriented rattan furniture.
