“We want to focus on not only the color, but also the quality of the inside that we cannot see”
– an enthusiastic Himeji leather tanner who continues to create each and every piece with pride
It is said that it takes around 2 tons of water to transform the skin of one cow into leather. Tatsuno City in Hyogo’s Matsubara region is surrounded by the abundant waters of the Ibogawa and Hayashidagawa rivers, making the Himeji area the most prosperous leather manufacturing center in Japan.
Himeji leather is popular for its thinness, lightness, good coloration when dyed, and ability to produce a wide variety of colors.
Many fashion brands trust the development spirit and reliable quality of Kimoto Leather Factory, which continues to develop a range of trend-specific leathers every year, and the company is now handling OEM work for some of Japan’s leading fashion brands.
The leather is slowly tanned all the way to the core.
Skilled hands and eyes check the work.
