"The ukulele begins and ends with Kamaka"—Ukuleles imbued with the spirit of Aloha bring smiles to people's faces and enrich their lives. Born in 1916 on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, Kamaka Ukuleles has been making ukuleles for over a century. Loved by many ukulele fans, it has now established itself as a top brand synonymous with Hawaiian ukuleles .

At Charlie Weiss on the 8th floor of the Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , they are focusing on the charm of the ukulele, which can be enjoyed by people of all generations, under the theme of "Play, Sing, and Dance." From Wednesday, July 25th to Tuesday, August 21st, a pop-up shop titled "UKULELE LOVE" will be open.

Sound memories. Communication that begins with sound.

Kamaka ukuleles are impressive for their unique sound, which seems to express the dry climate and bright sunshine of Hawaii. Made from the sacred Hawaiian koa wood, these ukuleles are characterized by their beautiful grain and bright, dry tone. Those made from carefully selected Hawaiian koa wood are said to produce an even more delicate and clear sound.

This perfectly exemplifies the words of Kamaka I: "Don't make junk. Value quality." The techniques and spirit cultivated within Hawaiian culture have continued to produce an unchanging sound, and have been passed down without being lost even after many years.


This pop-up shop will not only sell ukuleles, but also offer a variety of interactive events featuring special guests. On July 28th (Sat) and 29th (Sun), there will be a trunk show by Chris Kamaka, the third-generation head of Kamaka Ukuleles and head of ukulele manufacturing. There will also be a special session with top ukulele player Herb Ohta Jr. Furthermore, on August 4th (Sat) and 5th (Sun), Bruce Shimabukuro will hold ukulele lessons twice each day. The lessons, using the original beginner ukulele "SHIMA UKULELE" which he produced with his brother Jake Shimabukuro, are sure to be an event that ukulele fans will drool over.
