TYPE OF LEATHER

• Vegetable tannins tanned

  It takes a long time to make leather because it is tanned with tannins extracted from nature.
  Since it is tanned for a long time and slowly, it gives a unique softness and expression.
  There are subtle individual differences in the leather one by one, and the leather has a sense of depth. Unlike chrome tanning, you can enjoy aging as a characteristic and taste of leather.

• Mixed tanning

  By adding a small amount of chrome (about 1% to 2% of the total amount) to natural vegetable tannins, while maximizing the natural texture, the speed of aging is suppressed, and the atmosphere at the beginning of use is vegetable. We have devised a way to enjoy it longer than tanned leather.

It becomes soft. Originally, it has a textured texture in some places, so you can enjoy the original taste of leather. The scratches are a little noticeable, but when you get used to it, the texture will change.

  URUSHI steer oil leather
  Leather made by applying genuine lacquer to Japanese black beef produced in Japan /
  Mixed tanned leather tanned and processed in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture

  Lacquer leather is made by dyeing the steer leather of Japanese black beef tanned in Japan and then embossing it to create fine grain. The lacquer is repeatedly applied over time and days so that the lacquer is adsorbed only on the uneven convex parts of the fine grain, and then dried. By doing so, the surface of the leather has the unique luster of lacquer, and the concave part of the leather keeps the softness of the leather, resulting in a leather with a unique softness and luster.
  This technique has long been used in the decoration of samurai armor, and now in the body of kendo. We take this as a new approach in which craftsmen protect traditional Japanese techniques and the brand plays a role in spreading it to the world, and we use it in our collections.

The characteristics of crocodile leather are divided into the dorsal side (thorns on the scales) and the ventral side (square scales are evenly arranged), and the ventral side is especially distributed and used as luxury leather for clothing, bags, accessories, etc.
  Crocodile leather is classified as small crocodile (saltwater crocodile), sham crocodile, nile crocodile, and large crocodile (new crocodile). Alligator and Caiman are not classified as crocodile. (It will be in the Alligator family.)
  Crocodile leather has elasticity and strength, and the unique atmosphere that other leathers can not give and the balance of evenly arranged scales creates a luxurious atmosphere.
