shinise 老舗 a long-established store
traditional store, store with a long history of at least 5 generations
There were many shinise in Edo, some holding on to our time of Tokyo.
A lot of them are located around Nihonbashi, since that was the center of commerce in Edo, with easy access for boats from Osaka and other parts of Japan via the canals.
One important item of a shop was its
. noren 暖簾 door curtain .
noren o wakeru 暖簾を分ける to share a noren, give the same noren to someone else, for example a child or worker who has the trust of the store keeper. Setting up a branch store.
noren o mamoru 暖簾を守る "to protect the noren", keep the good traditions up.
noren ni kizu ga tsuku 暖簾に傷がつく "the noren has been wounded" or soiled,
the good reputation of the store has been damaged
shinise is a word used by others to compliment a good traditional store, it is not a word that the shopkeeper should use when talking about his own business.

During the Edo period, a book was published with the most popular stores in town.
Edo kaimono hitori annai 江戸買物獨案内 Shopping in Edo
featuring more than 2600 stores and shops.

Some of the stores of Edo were clever enough to have their noren added to woodblock prints of beautiful women - a kind of advertisement of the time.
One favorite was

Shiroki-ya 白木屋 （しろきや）
This is a nishiki-e (colored woodblock print) that depicts the front of Shirokiya, which was one of the three major kimono fabrics shops in Edo along with Echigoya (today's Mitsukoshi department store) and Daimaru (today's Daimaru department store). The vicinity of Nihonbashi was a fashion district lined with many kimono shops and cotton shops based in Kyoto, Ise and Matsuzaka.
In 1662 (Kanbun 2), Shirokiya, which was known as a fancy goods/kimono fabrics store in Kyoto, opened a shop on the Nihonbashi-dōri 3-chome. The founder, Kimura Hikotarō from Ōmi (Shiga prefecture) was originally a lumber dealer. Later, he opened a fancy goods store to deal in pipes and other items and started to sell kimonos and cotton afterward. He gradually expanded his business and opened a branch in Edo. During the prime time of his business, he operated shops in Ichigaya, Tomizawa-chō, Bakuro-chō, and 150 employees were working at the branch in Nihonbashi.
Another noted product of Shiroki-ya was fresh water from the well that was dug by Hikotarō, a successor to the founder. The water around Nihonbashi was strongly contaminated with salt, and high-quality water was scarce, which made this well water widely known as "Shiraki Meisui" (best and famous water)."

The Nihonbashi bridge served as the starting point for the five Gokaido roads, and the Nihonbashi area thrived as the center of Japan's economy in the Edo period. This area still features numerous longstanding shops that continue to do business today while preserving and cultivating Japanese traditions.
This page introduces famous shops and restaurants that are unique to the Nihonbashi area. Here you will find places that serve up the "flavors of Edo," cultivated over a long history. You'll also find shops that sell masterwork craft objects for everyday life made by artisans who have inherited longstanding lineages of traditional techniques.
