A founder of the originator is Kyube Hayashi, and his original family name was Fujiwara, and he served to Toyotomi family as a tradesman of medicine materials in Osaka. Then Shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa invited his brother to Edo, and he had a store in 2-Honcho.His store was separated from the Osaka store, so he separated a Chinese character of his family name(林) into two parts(木 and 木), then he named his store Kiya (木屋).The store was established in 1573, and moved to 1-Muromachi after 1657.It prospered because many shouguns and daimyo patronized it.It separated into a cutlery, shamisen, stationery and ivory store.They had the same name Kiya, so people said ‘The navy blue shop curtain of Kiya blooms in Muromachi.’The book Tokyo Meibutsushi published in1901 introduced Kiya like that.The originator of Kiya was today’s general trading company which was trading fancy goods, Japan ware, and candles mainly.Kyubei Hayashi’s Kiya store sold japan ware before the war.Iisuke Kato, the founder of Kiya as a cutlery shop, was born in Kuwana.There were many wholesale stores whose name Iseya around in Muromati Nihonbashi ward at that time, and there were many succeeding tradesmen.Though Iisuke was a young man in Kuwana, he was able to service his apprenticeship at a Kiya, because some big wholesale store introduced him to japan ware-Kiya.He started working as a pupil, and he was promoted gradually, became a head, and opened his store next to the originator.
