Arising from theMeiji Restoration,the company was founded in 1869 inYokohamaasTsuruya,a store selling cotton forkimono.In 1889, it bought Imagawa Matsuya, a Tokyo kimono fabric store founded in 1776, and adopted the latter's name because of its historic lineage. It opened a three-story Western-style store in 1907, and a modern department store in 1925 in Ginza.[1]
In the 1960s, the Ginza branch held two well-regarded art exhibitions: "From Space to Environment"and" Good Design ".[5]
In 1971, Matuya began a loose partnership / cooperation agreement withIsetan,another Japanese department store.[6]In 2002, Matsuya purchased Isetan stock in an attempt to cement the relationship. However, the two firms grew apart in 2007 after Isetan agreed to merge with Matsuya's bitter rivalMitsukoshi,which also operates a flagship department store in Ginza, and formIsetan Mitsukoshi Holdings.
On 27 September 2012, Asakusa-Matsuya was renewed as "EKIMISE" and exteriors were changed to the former Asakusa-Matsuya which was opened in 1931 becauseTokyo Skytreewas opened[7]
In April 2019, Matsuya held a promotion to celebrate the announcement of the new imperial era name,Rei-wa,providing special treatment for customers whose names contained either of theChinese charactersreiorwa.[8]
