Weaving a 1200-Year Legacy

 

Long ago, swords and armor were not merely weapons or tools of war—they were symbols of pride and the very essence of the samurai’s way of life.
Each sword holds the soul of the blacksmith who forged it and the story of the warrior who wielded it.
Each suit of armor embodies the skill and aesthetic sense honed during eras of war.
These artifacts are "living relics" that tell the timeless story of Japan’s history.

At Kumebe, we aspire to revive this legacy in the present and pass it on to future generations.
By immersing oneself in history and holding each piece in hand, one can experience a “story that transcends time.”
That is the unique value Kumebe offers.

 

What is Kumebe – The Meaning Behind the Name

“Kumebe” derives from an ancient Japanese guild known as the "Kumebe," who specialized in warfare and weaponry.
The Kumebe people played a vital role in supporting the samurai and shaping the culture of a war-torn era.
By adopting this name, we commit ourselves to preserving and conveying the spirit and traditions of the samurai to the modern world.

Kumebe is not merely a brand that sells Japanese swords or armor.
We strive to offer an experience where our customers can "touch and own genuine history," allowing them to feel the spirit of Japan.
When one possesses a sword or armor imbued with 1200 years of history, they become part of its ongoing story.
