Revive the SAMURAI ARMOUR
WHICH HAs been forgotten for long time.


『Pride of LEATHERS by Kei Arabuna』

Leather has been used in Japan for a long time. So why American or European style is mainstream in recent years?
It is theory that there was not thought so much because the Kawarabito people (a kind of the lower classes or ranks of living standards and societal positions until Edo era) peeled skin from the corpse and tanned to make leather, and they were avoided from others. However, various robust things, ranging from clogs' nails to samurai armour, were created by them.

Kei Arabuna's leather item, which is inspired by its manufacturing method and materials, and is produced with the unique design and concept of modern times.
Leather dyed like wood grain with natural lacquer and persimmon juice, you can enjoy beautiful glow and change of texture due to aging.

Depending on whether leather goods are to be used as accessories or as tools, you need to choose the character of the material. We create leather items from the right material of several kinds carefully selected raw skin to the tanning.

Because of leather.
Because of contemporary artist.


『Concept of us』

"If there are good materials, anybody can make good things.
So it should be a priority that other charms are included. "

It is because of the direction by Kei Arabuna which works at the cutting edge of the art scene.

Fermentation of persimmons(Kaki) for several years. A gradation that draws over several layers of natural Japan lacquer(Urushi). Original skills which extracted and produced elements also used for Samurai armour, this is the collaboration of skills which inherited from ancestors. 
That's why strong. That's why beautiful.

Sharing spirits and hearts of Japan is one of our aim of creation.





'If you want to change the situation, change yourself first.'

Now we live in wonderful society which has various choice.
So just choose exact yours from 4.6 billion years.
