Dyed pigskin on Amami Oshima is hand-spun by artisans into thin strips and then made into folding fans in Kyoto. The leather used is tanned with tannins, so you can enjoy the changes that occur in the leather over time.

We will deliver it in a luxurious paulownia box.

Mud dyeing is a dyeing method used in the world-famous traditional industry of Amami, a part of Kagoshima Prefecture, "Authentic Oshima Tsumugi," with a history of 1,300 years. Mud-dyed leather is leather that is dyed a dark brown color using dye made by boiling and naturally fermenting chips of the "techi" tree (scientific name: wheel plum) that grows naturally on the island, and mud that is rich in iron and has small, round particles that are only found in certain areas of Amami. You can enjoy the miraculous patterns and unique individuality, such as deep black and brown hues and tie-dyed patterns that are different from chemical dyes.

[Mottled dyeing]
The leather is wrinkled and rolled up to create an uneven pattern that resembles clouds intertwined. The varying shades of color create a beautiful effect. The way the uneven pattern appears shows the leather's unique character and the unique look of each piece at each time.
