"Can you finish leather with natural dye?"

In 2003, the persimmon astringent dyeing project started.

The era of mass production and mass consumption around the world.
While the harmful effects of air pollution and water pollution began to be shown,
“What can be done as a brand as a leather industry?”
The days I kept asking.


"You should be able to make leather that can be used with more thoughts with natural things without load in the environment."


In search of tanners who are good at vegetation dyeing and natural dyes, the leather completed after repeated prototypes with the supplier is .

The grain -like pattern is a brush by hand -dyed.
Above all, this brush creation was difficult, and it became one and only in the industry.

The dye is a persimmon astringent that squeezes the immaturity of the astringent persimmon harvested while it is still blue.
Using everything, such as skin and wetness, it will be aged over the years like wine.

BROOKLYN MUSEUM persimmon astringent dyed leather
Instead of pickling leather to the persimmon astringent liquid, the pattern that looks like a grain is expressed in the palm of the hand by the inherited craftsmanship.

The process is to apply a persimmon astringent (a fermented squeezed solution of the astringent persimmon) with a "brush" on the nume leather and repeats the work of applying it to sunlight. The number of dyed times is determined and adjusted by the condition of the raw skin, the temperature and humidity of the dyeing day.
By carefully repeating this work, the shades of the brush are designed, creating a unique brown "Japan Brown" in Japan.

In order to apply it manually, it is finished in a leather that cannot do the same thing as two with different expressions. That is the real pleasure of persimmon astringent dyeing, and each product can be enjoyed as one thing.
The aging, which left the brush, and the aging, which changes deeply, also fascinated many leather lovers.

However, the tanner, which had been supported from the beginning, was out of business due to lack of successors. Brooklyn Museum took over all persimmon astringent leather in the tanner, but it was a matter of time to use up.

"I can't help eliminating persimmon dyeing."

It is a persimmon astringent dye with many fans not only in Japan but also overseas as well as traditional techniques.
There was no tanner that could reproduce this brush somehow, and we continued to contact various tanner suppliers, but the days were just flowing.


At that time, I was able to meet the prosperity leather industry.
It is the first tanner to have acquired LWG authentication in Japan and is now the highest rank rank.

Those who love leather have repeatedly discussed each other, pouring passion, and finally trying to revive.
Leather that can be returned to the soil by creating dyes, tanning, and finishing chemicals to finish.

A color in harmony between orange and brown.
The

Light, soft, dyed
Change the expression with the sunlight,
Grow into a strong and gentle material.


Craftsmanship and pride.
It is a leather that attracts the world.
