A small clothing store that remains on the main street of the island
村のメイン通りに残る小さな衣料品店
“Sumiya Clothing Store” is a small clothing store diagonally opposite the Yokoo Museum of Art. The store began selling during the turmoil of the end of World War II. At that time, the store mainly dealt with kimono.
In the 1965s and 1950s, when Toshima was the most vibrant, clothes sold well, and women on the island took turns every day and visited the store to chat. At that time, the street in front of the store was called “Toyoshima Ginza”. After that, as the population of the island gradually decreased and the population was aging, the shops on the island gradually closed.
However, this store still sells miscellaneous goods such as clothes, underwear, bedding and towels by the third generation owner.
It is a shop with a nostalgic Showa retro atmosphere.

「すみや衣料店」は、横尾美術館の斜向かいにある小さな衣料品店です。創業は戦後の混乱期にまでさかのぼり、昔は着物を主に扱っていました。
豊島が一番賑やかだった昭和40～50年代には、洋服がよく売れ、島の女性たちが毎日入れ替わり立ち代わり、おしゃべりがてらに店を訪れていました。当時は店の前の通りも「豊島銀座」と呼ばれ、今よりずっと活気がありました。その後、島の人口が徐々に減少し高齢化が進む中で、島の商店もだんだんと閉店していきました。
今では3代目となる店主が洋服や下着、寝具やタオルなどの雑貨を販売し、細々と営業を続けています。昭和レトロな雰囲気が懐かしいお店です。
