ITTI has released a new product made from a new material.
The name is V.KUROZAN (Vintage Kurozan).
This is a one-of-a-kind collection that combines traditional techniques with a modern aesthetic sense.
The leather used is "Kurozangawa," which is made using Japanese lacquer craft techniques.
This material, which has been used for weapons and armor since ancient times, has an overwhelming presence and elegance, and is characterized by a glossy finish that is reminiscent of lacquer.
This time, ITTI has created a delicate greige tone by layering white lacquer on standard black cowhide.
While it has an appearance somewhat reminiscent of vintage leather, the more you use it the more transparent it becomes, and the deeper it becomes over time - it is truly a material that allows you to enjoy its "beauty over time."
Not only is it visually striking, but it is also smooth to the touch and the way the light flickers due to its minute irregularities is also appealing. The combination of the artisan's handiwork and lacquer techniques has resulted in a leather that is truly like a piece of art.
This is a series that we would recommend to anyone looking for authenticity that is not influenced by the times or trends.
Please come and see for yourself at any of our stores nationwide or at our direct store, ICHI GALLERY.
