JIS-compliant. The antibacterial properties of natural urushi
In tests conducted by the KAKEN Foundation, the antibacterial activity value was more than double the standard. Both Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli showed a decrease in bacteria after 24 hours compared to immediately after inoculation. Since this is a wallet that you touch every day, the natural antibacterial coating is significant.

Two centuries of craft, deepening leather into urushi black
Wakabayashi Butsugu, a company that has been making Buddhist altars and religious ornaments in Kyoto for generations, has repurposed its lacquerware techniques for modern products. By applying the "fuki-urushi" technique, where natural lacquer is wiped onto Italian leather, they have achieved a matte black finish with a subdued luster.
