Karugano Factory located near Kanazawa City produces the main component “rokuro” and manages and processes large quantities of egonoki and bamboo frames.
There are only a few places in Japan that can manufacture “rokuro”, the important part of the wagasas. Currently, various sizes of the rokuros are manufactured at the Karugano Factory, owned by Matsuda Wagasa Shop.
Carefully selected moso bamboo, the material used for the frames, and egonoki (styrax tree) for making the rokuros, are all stored in large quantities in the factory.
