*''Japanese'': 川島甚兵衛 ''(Kawashima Jinbee)''

Kawashima Jinbee was a [[Nishijin]]-based [[clothing|kimono]] dealer who is known for his advances in weaving techniques.

He opened a wholesale kimono business in Nishijin in [[1843]], which he passed on to his son, [[Kawashima Jinbei II]], in [[1879]].

The company continues to be active today, having been re-established as Kawashima Jinbee Shôten in 1938, and again later as Kawashima Orimono, KK.
