Also, selecting armature carefully is to maintain the shape naturally. In terms of way opening, unprecedented this figure and being functional as bag at same time caused lots of try and error, prototype making along craftsman’s patience and endeavor.

Form

It ends up taking over years to realize the shape, using patterns more than three times than ordinal bag. Because of using delicate textile such as JYUBAN (kimono lingerie fabric) and Obi (kimono belt) in addition to leather, pre-procedures are taken in advance of sawing whole bags.

Incorporated Jyuban(kimono lingerie) as inside of bags are mostly silk with soft texture which needs extra attachment in condition of roll to enable sewing together with leather. This transformation and integration of Jyuban along with the modest and grace beauty generate our joy. Even though its inside, it should be small surprise what type of inner show up when open the bag.

Each time artisan handcraft, he makes effort and improves the measures in accordance with all each different material includes antique Kimono-Obi, leather and Jyuban carrying own different texture and uniqueness.
