Yamato leather was developed by BROOKLYN MUSEUM over two years.
The most distinctive feature is that we use Wagyu beef that has been carefully raised by craftsmen and the blessings of Japan's four seasons.
``I want to make sure that the entire process is done in Japan, from the farm to pre-tanning, post-tanning, dyeing, and finishing.''
The company that fulfilled this request was Kaname, a company in Tokyo that has long specialized in tanning tanned leather. By taking advantage of the fine texture and thin, delicate raw hide, it is finished into firm, smooth leather.

How to care
In order to preserve the texture of Wagyu beef, it is tanned and dyed using a process called ``honzome.''
The process of adding a small amount of dye to the raw leather, drying it in the sun, adding a small amount of dye again and drying it in the sun is repeated over and over again, allowing the dye to soak into the core of the leather over time, resulting in a painstakingly finished product.
Clear colors and textures that can only be expressed through genuine dyeing.
In order to faithfully reproduce the color ordered by BROOKLYN MUSEUM, each piece is carefully hand-dyed.
This finish achieves a clear yet deep aging effect, and the color gradually deepens and deepens over the years you wear it.
Performing ``Tsuki'', which is rarely practiced these days, is also an important key to talking about Yamato. Smooth the surface with a spatula to adjust the texture. By doing this several times, you will end up with an even more beautiful and elegant leather.
``All made in Japan'', from the raising of cows to the processing from raw hides to leather, and the final process of making products, all handled by Japan's outstanding craftsmen.
The process of finishing with the highest quality takes a lot of time and effort.
Recognized for their high quality, Yamato items have been selected for the TOYOTA LEXUS lifestyle collection.

This is a world-class leather that was made possible because there was a creator who willingly accepted the process, which was rejected by various tanners as being too labor-intensive, with a single-minded desire to make something good.
HOW TO CARE
We recommend Coronil 1909 Supreme Cream Deluxe.
First, remove invisible dust and dirt by brushing, then apply a small amount of cream onto a soft cloth and apply it evenly to the leather product.
After application, brush to remove excess cream and add shine.
To finish, wipe dry with leather gloves. At this time, please be careful not to wipe too hard as this may strip the oil from the leather. The frequency of maintenance depends on the condition, but please do it once a year.
