We are passionate about infusing color and happiness into every aspect of life through our love for golf.
Founded by Shohei Nomura, we are a small but dedicated team that combines years of experience with a deep appreciation for the artistry behind golf club manufacturing. After relocating from Tokyo to the rural town of Ichikawa, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, we devoted countless hours to learning from master artisans. Immersed in the rich traditions of Japanese craftsmanship, we refined the skills that have shaped golf manufacturing for generations.
Inspired by the phrase “二の次” (ni no tsugi)—which emphasizes the importance of prioritizing what truly matters—we believe that the seemingly unimportant aspects of life are, in fact, the most significant. For us, golf is more than just a game; it represents joy, connection, and creativity, enriching our lives in profound ways.

Makino マキノ MA3
Makino is our most personal brand—its name is a blend of “Makita,” a nod to a lifelong love of DIY, and “No” from Nomura.
Dedicated to handcrafted, one-off pieces that emphasize creativity and craftsmanship, Makino is centered on artisanal putters and irons made for low-handicap players. While there are whispers of a “Makino Sports” from the 1980s, today’s Makino is entirely our own.
Blending precision and artistry are values we’ve always held close in our approach to clubmaking.

Modal Workshop
Modal Workshop began as a passion project, fueled by our admiration for vintage clubs, particularly the Mizuno Pro series.
It gave us the chance to breathe new life into these classic designs while paying homage to their legacy.
Since then, we’ve developed a range of special finishes, including the two-tone copper, acid copper, and indigo copper—each adding a distinct artistic flair that transforms these timeless pieces into original works of art.

Fujimoto Golf International
From 2016 to 2023, we were responsible for developing and managing the in-house brand for Fujimoto Gikoh, one of our mentors and a distinguished golf manufacturer in Ichikawa town.
Focused purely on international sales, we handled all aspects of creative direction, including club designs and the revival of their traditional 72 hour annealing technique.
This experience not only refined our manufacturing skills but also deepened our appreciation for the craftsmanship of one of the region’s oldest producers.
