No. 638661

This FUJITAKA meets KYOTO Leather's box-shaped coin purse features leather hand-painted with a historic Karakusa (arabesque) pattern, showcasing the refined beauty of tradition and the time-honored Japanese aesthetic sense.

KYOTO Leather produces leather using traditional Japanese craft techniques, creating a new brand of leather material alongside various craftsmen. The brand FUJITAKA blends the cherished craftsmanship of Japanese artisans with the sensibilities of contemporary designers. The two brands have come together, resonating with each other and reaffirming the Japanese aesthetic.

The bag's interior is made from elegantly embossed cowhide leather, which represents Chirimen (crepe fabric), a luxury fabric that has been used since ancient times. The beautiful wrinkles of Chirimen are caused by the weaving of tightly twisted weft threads alternately, which results in shrinkage. The delicate embossed pattern that mimics this wrinkle is a fitting pattern for FUJITAKA, which is committed to the high-quality and meticulous craftsmanship that only a product made in Japan can offer. It is also resistant to wrinkles, supple, and has an excellent texture. The design is simple and unassuming, and it matches modern styles. The refined texture will develop with use while also being resistant to everyday water and scratches.

※The pattern may be different from the photo due to the cutting location of the leather.

Description of item

Karakusa (arabesque) patterns are hand-printed using Kyo-Yuzen techniques

A modernized version of
 auspicious motifs

In hand-printing, Kyo-Yuzen craftsman precisely overlaps multiple stencils to create a single pattern. The beauty of this is a result of years of history and artisanal experience. The leather's natural texture is preserved without any pigment dyes or prints, making it an unparalleled beauty. One of the hallmarks of Kyo-Yuzen is the use of high-temperature steaming, which enhances the development of the dye. The fibers would be destroyed and damaged by heat and water immersion, but the Yuzen and leather craftsmen used their knowledge to continuously scrutinize and adjust the steaming time and temperature to achieve this.

The result is a delicate expression that could never be replicated by a machine alone. The Karakusa (arabesque) pattern, with its never-ending ivy, is seen as a sign of vitality. It was loved as an auspicious motif, symbolizing the prosperity and longevity of the family.
