Product Description

The inro is said to have arrived in Japan from China during the Muromachi period.

Originally, it was a tool for storing valuables such as seals, but during the Edo period, it evolved uniquely in Japan, being carried as a medicine container.

This product is a leather case that reinterprets that traditional structure for modern times.

It opens and closes by moving a natural stone, placed on the upper part of the main body's flap, up and down.

The mechanism itself functions as a design, integrating ornamentation and functionality.

The leather used is imported from a prestigious German tannery established in 1864.

With a semi-aniline finish, it boasts vibrant colors and an elegant sheen, while also being durable against scratches and water.

This product quietly coexists with traditional design and urban material sensibility.

For daily care, brushing and wiping with a dry cloth are sufficient.
