Welcome to NAMBA SHOUTEN: Discovering Everyday Style with Vintage Japanese Clothing

Hello. I am Futoshi Namba, the owner of NAMBA SHOUTEN.

I have been involved in the vintage clothing and fashion industry for over 20 years.

Through countless garments, textures, and histories, I’ve learned one thing: some clothes speak louder than trends.

When I wear a vintage noragi or haori, I don’t just feel “styled.” I feel connected—to the people who once wore them, to the craft that made them, and to something quietly timeless.

Have you ever wanted to wear something that felt alive?

These clothes are full of stories: faded colors, hand-stitched repairs, and fabrics shaped by everyday life. I choose each piece not just for how it looks, but for what it carries.

At NAMBA SHOUTEN, I want to share that feeling with you. You don’t have to be Japanese. You don’t have to know the history. You just have to feel it—when the right garment finds you.

Maybe it’s time to let history become part of your everyday.

Thank you for your continued support.
