■ About yuhaku
We believe that "yuhaku" is a brand that creates beauty that is close to people, and we create products with the motto "portable art." Leather, which is born from a unique dyeing technique that arranges painting techniques, is made by hand by craftsmen who can be said to be artists in about 15 to 20 steps. Using this leather, which is recognized as the highest level in the world at home and abroad, we are currently developing bags, shoes, belts, etc., focusing on wallets and small leather goods. In addition, the design is based on the concept of architecture, and the beauty of leather is maximized by the precise design and the hands of sewing craftsmen who make it possible.
The brand name is derived from "Yuhaku" (Gagô), which is an on-yomi reading of the name under the owner designer Tomohiro Nakagaki.
