Isehan 1825 Make you even more beautiful tomorrow. Isehan 1825 Make you even more beautiful tomorrow.

I am Han’emon Sawada, the founder of ISEHAN.
I established a BENI shop called Iseya Han’emon in Nihonbashi during the Edo period in 1825.

Since then, ISEHAN has continued to protect the tradition of BENI, our company’s origin.
We have been manufacturing cosmetics loved by many with our technical skills, inquisitiveness, and quality-oriented craftsmanship that continue to awe those who pursue beauty.
As if experiencing it firsthand, I had a vision of what beauty and the world of cosmetics would look like 200 years in the future.
I could see it—popular cosmetics, born one after another.
I could see the happiness and excitement that lit consumers’ faces as they held them in their hands.
I envisioned people dressing up, checking themselves out in the mirror, and going out on the town in high spirits.
Yes. We were convinced that the joy of beauty-seeking individuals would not change in the Edo period or 200 years later.

We hope that the cosmetics produced by ISEHAN will continue to delight, surprise, and brighten the lives of people all over the world and bring them happiness.

Please continue to be beautiful 200 years from now!

ABOUT US

Since the Edo period,
ISEHAN has been committed to the craftsmanship of BENI (rouge).

As the oldest cosmetics manufacturer in Japan, BENI is where our company started. Through meticulous technique and artisanal skills, BENI is created by extracting 1% of the red pigment found in BENI BANA (safflower). These methods have been passed down from generation—and for 200 years, we've worked to preserve the tradition of crafting BENI. 

From the golden BENI BENA, we produce mystifying iridescent BENI that's been a best kept secret. By using the purest and finest BENI BANA, we are able to achieve the sought-after glossy luster. 

私たちについて

Staying true to our history, ISEHAN Group is the only cosmetics manufacturer that continues to produce BENI through traditional methods. Honoring the craftsmanship that has delighted people since the Edo period, we preserve the integrity of our history through our cosmetics. Generations of tradition live on through the entirety of ISEHAN Group.
