Tochigi Leather Co., Ltd., a tannery in Tochigi Prefecture, conducts the entire work process from purchasing leather to tanning in-house.

Tochigi Leather is a Japanese company, but the leather products manufactured there are called "Tochigi Leather".

The company was founded on September 1, 1937, and has a long history, so it is a manufacturer that continues to be loved by many users.

There are 20 work processes to turn leather into leather, and it is manufactured very carefully and is also particular about quality.

This time, we will introduce the basic knowledge of Tochigi leather, the types, characteristics, charm, and the secrets of its popularity.

Tochigi Leather is a leather product manufactured by Tochigi Leather Co., Ltd.

It refers to tanned leather, and it is a product that uses vegetable tannins to tan the original leather and is finished with almost no surface treatment.

Currently, leather that uses chemicals is called chrome leather, which is the most commonly distributed leather, but Tochigi leather is "cowhide" that has been treated with vegetable tannin.

It is more prone to deterioration over time than chrome leather, but Tochigi leather is manufactured by skilled craftsmen while maintaining quality, so we cannot make so many.

Tochigi leather is made in Japan, so from the point of view of us consumers, we think that products made in Japan are more reliable and safe than foreign products.

There are 20 manufacturing processes, and it takes about 6 months to complete, not only with machines but also with the help of craftsmen who have acquired outstanding skills.

Above all, Tochigi leather is a product that is friendly to the human body because it does not use chemicals or harmful substances.

There are various fashion accessories such as "belts, business card holders, wallets" that are produced as products.

The characteristic of genuine leather products is that they can be enjoyed over time.

The same goes for Tochigi leather.

Tochigi leather, which uses tanned leather, was said to be difficult to commercialize due to the inherent hardness of the material.

However, the craftsmen of Tochigi leather have succeeded in manufacturing products that have both softness and suppleness through trial and error over a long period of time.

Tochigi leather products using cowhide are loved by many users.

There are various types as shown below, but you can enjoy aging by continuing to use any of them.

Of course, in order to enjoy aging, it is a major premise to take care of it regularly.

If you do not use or store it properly, you will not be able to enjoy the change over time.

"Saddle leather" is a manufacturing method that uses vegetable tannins and is impregnated with oil.

It is made of hard leather throughout.

Aging is characterized by discoloration when exposed to sunlight.

"Pull-up leather" is a type of Tochigi leather that has been impregnated with a lot of oil during the tanning process.

Generally, it is also called oil leather, but pull-up leather is a higher version.

In other words, it contains more oil than oil leather.

When the pull-up leather product is folded or pressed with a finger, the oil may migrate through the fibers and cause the surface color to change.

From Tuscany, Italy, there is a "vachetta leather" that has been handed down from ancient times.

Among the types of Tochigi leather, it is a very time-consuming manufacturing method, but the finished product is highly durable and beautiful over time.

As you can see, there are various types of Tochigi leather, but if you continue to use genuine leather products carefully, you can enjoy beautiful aging, so it will look more attractive than when you first bought it.

Tochigi leather is made in Japan, so we Japanese are proud of it.

In addition to being able to use Tochigi leather products with peace of mind, there are also the following attractions.

The more you use Tochigi leather, the more you can enjoy "aging".

As you use a wallet made of Tochigi leather for many years, it feels like it will become familiar with your hands and the color will change to something deeper.

Normally, Tochigi leather does not require much oil maintenance, so it has the advantage of being easier to care for than other leather products.

You don't have to be so nervous about holding Tochigi leather, so you don't have to think that you can't enjoy beautiful aging unless you take care of it.

However, regular maintenance of Tochigi leather allows you to enjoy its beautiful aging, so it is important not to neglect care.

Tochigi leather requires the use of machines and the hands of skilled craftsmen, so it takes a lot of labor and time to complete.

It goes through 20 processes in order to turn leather into fine leather, which is why we are able to achieve "high quality."

From now on, Japan will become an aging society with a declining birthrate, and it is certain that the number of young people will decrease.

The manufacturing method of Tochigi leather is not a simple one, so it requires the outstanding skills of the craftsmen.

One of the challenges is to train young craftsmen so that the supply of Tochigi leather products will not decrease in the future.

Rather than getting a product that is mass-produced by a machine, I feel more attached to something like Tochigi leather that takes time and effort and is rare.
