Beni Museum

The Beni Museum displays traditional Japanese red lipstick production methods through exhibits demonstrating the extraction process from safflower petals to finished products.

Founded in 2003 by Isehan Honten, a company established in 1825, this museum preserves the legacy of beni production during the Edo period.

The exhibits illustrate the connection between makeup applications and social status through collections of traditional cosmetic tools and historical artifacts.

Located on the first floor of K's Minami Aoyama Building, the museum operates from 11:00 to 19:00 and offers hands-on experiences with beni application.

The museum requires approximately 1,000 safflower petals to create a single Komachi beni lipstick, maintaining traditional manufacturing techniques.
