Utilizing the texture and thickness of horse naked leather,

The moderate wrinkling and unique unevenness of the horse naked leather's vintage color
further accentuate its three-dimensionality and character.

-Horse Naked Leather BLACK VINTAGE-
Commissioned from Shinki Hikaku, whose philosophy is to manage all processes from tanning, dyeing, to finishing in-house.
Recognized worldwide for its 100% vegetable-tanned pit tanning, rooted in history, love, and pride for horse leather.
Even in modern times where efficiency is prioritized, we continue the tradition of pit-tanned horse naked leather, which takes the longest time.
Please enjoy the firm yet supple feel of pit-tanned horse naked leather, its edges that shine with simple polishing, and the increasing depth of luster with use.

Masterful Dyeing Technique
This black vintage color is created by a complex dyeing process where the base color is intentionally dyed black with an uneven look without penetrating the dye into the core of the horse naked leather, and then a translucent brownish color is applied on top.

Masterful Finishing Technique
After achieving a rich luster through glazing, a揉み加工 (momi-kako) process is applied to create wrinkles and a whitish effect.
The揉み加工 (momi-kako) brings out a richer grain surface expression due to the differences in fiber quality in each part.

Horse naked leather Black Vintage, a product infused with the wonderful natural properties of horse naked leather and the unsparing techniques of Shinki Hikaku, who has worked with horse leather for a long time.
Each item is crafted one by one according to our manufacturing standards, which are designed to maximize the potential of this horse naked leather.

-ELEPHANT-
Currently, the elephant leather distributed is from African elephants.
It features distinctive large folds and wrinkles in each part, and if you look closely, you can see fine granular raised grain (surface skin).
The luster increases with use, and the thick elephant leather possesses a profound feel.
By skiving only near the edges diagonally, we expressed a beautiful edge surface that integrates with the horse naked leather while preserving the profoundness of the elephant leather.
