Tulip is based in the Hiroshima region, which has over 300 years of needle-making tradition. Samurai started making needles back then and used their knowledge of ironworking in sword making. The brand combines traditional craft techniques with the latest technology and is the favorite of many handworkers. Only sewing, crochet and knitting needles of absolute premium quality are produced. Tulip is guided by the Ikigai philosophy, which roughly means “that which makes life worth living”. The goal of the company and all its employees is to help their customers enjoy life every day. Customers from over 50 countries worldwide now appreciate the high quality of Tulip masterpieces. Tulip is particularly proud of the certification of its ETIMO Rose crochet hook set as a Hiroshima brand. This not only testifies to the high quality of the products, but also shows the company’s deep roots in the tradition of the region and the industry.
