Daimaru (大丸) is a Japanese department store chain, principally located in the Kansai region of Japan.

[2] Daimaru traces its history to Dai-Monjiya, a dry goods store in Kyoto founded by Shimomura Hikoemon Masahiro in 1717.

[citation needed] The chain was incorporated in 1907 and reincorporated as Daimaru Dry Goods K.K.

[7] Daimaru announced its departure from the Australian market after nearly a decade of low profits in September 2001[8] commencing closure of both stores in late 2002.

[9][10] In 1998, Daimaru entered into a partnership with the French grand couturier Dominique Sirop to produce Dominique Sirop for Daimaru, a high fashion prêt-à-porter (ready-to-wear) label.
