Kikuichi-monji '菊一文字' founded in the 13th century, has a rich history rooted in samurai bladesmithing. The company originated from the Tegai school's renowned sword maker, Kanenaga, whose legacy includes six "Important Cultural Property" swords and one designated as a national treasure. The chrysanthemum symbol, tied to the royal family, signifies Kikuichi's commitment to quality. As demand for swords declined in the 19th century, the family shifted to knife-making, maintaining traditional craftsmanship. Today, Kikuichi Cutlery continues its legacy under President and CEO Ikuyo Yanagisawa, the first woman to lead a major Japanese cutlery company.
