Communicating the Japanese spirit of "wabi-sabi"

In order to preserve the traditional techniques rooted in various parts of Japan for future generations,
We continue to work with Japanese craftsmen to create new leather.
01
Planning ability based on thorough knowledge of leather
Since our founding in 1942, we have specialized in natural leather and have accumulated over 80 years of knowledge and experience.
Furthermore, our thorough knowledge of the characteristics of each of our transactions with over 50 tanners and processing/decoration companies sets us apart by providing important connections in leather planning.
02
Utilizing the "handicrafts" of artisans from all over Japan
At a time when dyeing techniques and the passing on of traditional culture are becoming less common, we will continue to express the skills of artisans across the country through leather.
In today's leather industry, the development of machines has made it possible to mass-produce similar leather, but at the same time, the number of craftsmen is decreasing. This is not limited to the leather industry, but the traditions of craftsmen in various regions are also becoming endangered. "Te Saho" incorporates the techniques of craftsmen from various regions into leather, creating unique leather with the texture, beauty and individuality that can only be achieved through handcrafting, and opens up a new path to pass on essential traditional culture and techniques.
03
Our mission is to convey traditional Japanese craftsmanship to the world through leather.
Not only in the leather industry, but in other industries in Japan, the passing on of techniques is in danger due to a shortage of craftsmen and advances in machinery. In this situation, we hope to convey Japan's traditional culture, techniques and craftsmen to the world by incorporating the techniques of craftsmen from around the country into leather, a sustainable material, and creating traditional, unique leather that has not yet been recognized, with the texture, beauty and individuality that can only be found in handmade products, as well as the delicacy and characteristics that are unique to Japan.
