The Eitaro Honsen Nihonbashi Main Store reopened on August 1, 2020. In addition to the old-fashioned Eitaro products, we have gathered together brands that had limited sales destinations so that all of them can be purchased here. Including the existing Kotarou, we have all 5 brands (*). In addition, there are many recommended things, such as a demonstration of fresh confectionery production and a coffee shop that offers a special taste despite its casual style. At the moment, we are in the coronal blight and it is necessary to be careful when going out, but we would like to welcome the customer as much as possible to prevent infection. We would like to aim to become a new “tourist attraction”/”stopover” for Nihonbashi, which will be reborn.

■About Eitaro Sohon Co., Ltd.
In 1818, the Hanno confectionery shop Tokubei Hosoda went out to Edo with his two grandchildren, and started confectionery production at Kudanzaka with the name “Izutsuya”. Soon after, Tokubei’s great-grandson, Eitaro (later Hosoda Yasube III), opened a store in 1857 (Ansei 4) in Nishikawagishi, at the foot of Nihonbashi. After that, he created the original name of “Anetagaru” after his childhood name, “Amanatto”, the originator of Amanatto, “Umeboshi candy”, and “Tamadare”, Ariheito. In August 2020, refurbished the main store in Nihonbashi.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
