Wallets^所作 / [C] Coin purse

Minimalism in wallets in step with the times
The motif of this “coin case” is based on a “fukusa,” a piece of cloth used to wrap celebrations at weddings and other occasions. The design is reminiscent of the beautiful movement of a fukusa as it is unfolded, and the details of the layers of paper in the traditional Japanese folded shape make this an attractive item.

The minimalist construction, in which a single piece of leather is folded without sewing to create the shape, and only one point is fastened, is a key point.

The size is just right for those who are paying cashless more often and no longer carry a large wallet.Shaping the heart of caring for others
The Japanese leather craft brand “Shousaku” is made in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture, using naturally finished Japanese leather, and each item is individually made.

The motif of this brand is “fukusa”, a beautiful Japanese culture of wrapping things up, and by incorporating the folded layers of “orikata”, an old style of gift wrapping, into the details, the brand “designs the action of wrapping money itself”.

The brand offers items that make the graceful movement of the hand when taking out the contents of a gift and the beautiful shapes and gestures of that movement look beautiful.

Feel the change and use it slowly
The material is “bridle leather,” which is recommended for first-time leather wallet buyers. It is made based on cowhide and contains a lot of oil, which gives it a sense of heaviness and sturdiness among the leathers used in the Tokorozaku series.

The white powder-like substance seen on the surface is the wax soaked into the leather when tanning it, which is raised to the surface. This will gradually fade away as the leather is used, and the bridle leather will then take on a beautiful luster that is unique to bridle leather. It is relatively resistant to moisture among leathers, and can be used without hesitation.

Both design and storage capacity
The luxurious use of a single piece of leather and the incorporation of traditional Japanese “orikata” (folded shape) detailing create a design that respects harmony.The coin pocket in the front has a gusset for easy access. The lid closes securely, so there is no need to worry about coins falling out.The card pocket located behind the coin pocket can hold approximately five credit card-thick cards. There are three card pockets in total, and one can be used as a wallet by folding a bill into it.

Recommended as a gift
The item comes in a special “Tokorosaku box” with the look of Japanese paper. The items of Tokorosaku, which are filled with a profound sense of courtesy and consideration for others, are highly recommended as a reward for yourself or as a gift for a loved one.
