Japanese Tradition, Reimagined in Minimal Black

A contemporary interpretation of one of Japan’s most iconic traditional materials, this bag is crafted from black washi tatami.

Both the front and back feature solid black washi tatami with no added pattern, allowing the subtle woven texture and distinctive character of the material itself to take center stage.

The understated black design brings traditional Japanese craftsmanship into a modern aesthetic, making the bag easy to style with both Japanese and contemporary fashion.

The gussets feature Nishijin-ori, one of Japan’s most celebrated traditional textiles, using fabric traditionally made for kimono.

The contrast between the minimalist black exterior and the Nishijin textile revealed from different angles adds a subtle expression of Japanese tradition.

The edges of the bag are carefully finished with genuine leather trim, creating a refined transition between the different materials while adding an elegant finishing touch to the overall design.

The handles are made from black waxed cord with a distinctive three-dimensional braided texture.

With an inner handle circumference of approximately 46 cm (18.1 in), the bag can be carried by hand or worn comfortably over the shoulder by many men and women.

Inside, a vibrant Japanese-patterned fabric adds an unexpected contrast to the minimalist black exterior, complemented by a convenient zippered pocket.

Opening the bag reveals another expression of Japanese color and traditional aesthetics.

Washi tatami. Nishijin textile. Genuine leather.

Bringing together traditional Japanese materials with a contemporary black design, each bag is carefully handcrafted one by one by artisans in our Kyoto workshop.
