Nakanoya Hataten (Flag Shop)

This specialty dyeing store is located in Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture. It was established in 1921, and the large shop curtain at the entrance of the modern glass-fronted building leaves a big impression. In addition to large pieces, like fisherman’s flags, company flags and banners, they also dye hand towels and miscellaneous items. Hand towels dyed with seasonal patterns for New Years and seasonal festivals are popular choices for souvenirs and gifts. Colorful temari toys and Zodiac ornaments and other miscellaneous items are also popular, regardless of gender.
