History

The company was founded in 1919 as Izumiya Art Materials Store, a small art supply store in Shibuya, Tokyo. From the sale of art supplies to the manufacture and sale of design tools, and then to the transition to digital technology, we have delivered creative tools in step with the times. Too Maker Products Co., Ltd. has carried on the business from its origins to the present day, researching, developing, manufacturing, selling Copic and other art materials around the world, and operating directly managed stores in Japan.
