The motif of this wallet is based on a fukusa, a piece of cloth used to wrap celebrations at weddings and other occasions. The design is reminiscent of the beautiful motion of unfurling a fukusa, and the details of the layers of paper in the traditional Japanese folded shape are attractive. It is an item that makes the everyday act of spending money look elegant.
The minimalist design of this long wallet, made by folding a single piece of leather without sewing and fastening it at a single point, gives the hand a smart, mature impression. The clean appearance that wraps around the cover makes it suitable for both men and women.
The Japanese leather craft brand "Shousaku" is made in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture, using naturally finished Japanese leather, and each item is individually made.
The motif of this brand is "fukusa", a beautiful Japanese culture of wrapping things up, and by incorporating the folded layers of "orikata", an old style of gift wrapping, into the details, the brand "designs the action of wrapping money itself".
The brand offers items that make the graceful movement of the hand when taking out the contents of a gift and the beautiful shapes and gestures of that movement look beautiful.
The material is "bridle leather," which is recommended for first-time leather wallet buyers. The fibers are tightened by repeatedly applying wax to the cowhide, resulting in its robust durability.
The white powder-like substance seen on the surface is the wax soaked into the leather during the tanning process, which rises to the surface. This will gradually fade away as the leather is used, and the leather will then take on a beautiful luster that is unique to bridle leather. It is relatively resistant to moisture among leathers, and can be used without hesitation.
The luxurious use of a single piece of leather and the incorporation of traditional Japanese "orikata" (folded shape) detailing create a design that respects harmony.
The item comes in a special "Tokorosaku box" with the look of Japanese paper. The items of Tokorosaku, which are filled with a profound sense of courtesy and consideration for others, are highly recommended as a reward for yourself or as a gift for a loved one.
