Long wallets that do not require folding of bills are said to enhance status and have the power to sustain good luck.

Leather model
This is an all-leather model with leather, not silk, as the outer fabric.
The leather is not printed, but dyed one by one by utilizing the technique of yuzen.
We developed leather suitable for coloring with a tanner in Himeji, and use our own dyes,
This allows us to freely dye different patterns on the leather.

 Product History

When did these crafts start to craft?:400 years ago / 1600AD / Edo period in Japan

Kyo-yuzen originated with Miyazaki Yuzenzai, a fan painter (a craftsman who paints pictures on fans) who was active in Kyoto. During the Edo period (1603-1868), a law was issued prohibiting extravagance and calling on people to be thrifty.  As a result, extravagant kimonos with gilding, tie-dyeing, embroidery, etc. were banned. However, it developed "Kyo-yuzen" a colorful and beautiful dyed kimono, which was a cutting-edge fashion that attracted the attention of the masses.


Craftsman Story

Craftsman Profile

Masahiro Ikeuchi
Masahiro Ikeuchi was born in Kyoto City in 1981. While attending university, he was inspired by the works of his father, a Yuzen artist, and decided to join the family business of hand-painted Yuzen dyeing. He studied design under the katazome artist Kazuko Shibuya while in university. Later, he apprenticed under his father to learn the techniques of hand-painted Yuzen dyeing. Alongside creating kimonos as part of the family business, he also challenges himself by combining traditional techniques with modern sensibilities to create new values, such as scarves and fashion accessories that bridge the past and future.
