Miyajima Hanpu (宮島帆布)

Miyajima Hanpu is the only store on Miyajima Island specializing in canvas products. The store/workshop is located in a renovated old house and is filled with bags, pouches, mask cases, and other unique canvas products. All products are handmade, each with its own unique shape and color. The store only sells directly in person, not through online shopping, phone calls, or e-mails, so enjoy taking your time to discover and compare the unique products one by one.

Moment of Joy

The charm of Miyajima Hanpu is the high quality of its products, which are made from only the finest canvas. Each item is hand-made in a workshop attached to the store by the owner, and all items are one-of-a-kind. Inside the store, you will find a variety of canvas products in bright colors such as red, yellow, and green, as well as natural colors that highlight the canvas material. The more you use canvas, the more the colour and texture changes and transfroms, so many people use it year after year.
