◎ KENTO HASHIGUCHI × Traditional craftsman Isao Shirai (hand fir silver foil)

https://youtu.be/S4NIeXiAyeY

A shopper bag realized in collaboration with a traditional craftsman in Kyoto and a young bag designer active in Kyoto. Using the traditional technique "hand fir foil" used in Nishijin, Kyoto, the uniquely developed "silver foil" expresses a three-dimensional shadow by spraying ink, giving the illusion of uneven metal. .. Since all are handmade, the finished hand fir silver foil is completed as a material that is unique in the world. There are two types of handles that use leather straps and Kyoto braids.

It is an indispensable and important item in the Nishijin obi. The strength of the bag has been increased by pasting the canvas fabric on the back of the hand-kneaded silver foil. In addition, PVC (laminated) fabric is sewn together on the front to make it a paper material that is easy to use.
