Asakusa Bunko
About Asakusa Bunko
Our roots are in kimono making. Today, we bring Yuzen techniques to leather goods made for everyday use.
From kimono to leather
At our workshop in Asakusabashi, artisans decorate white cowhide from Himeji with stencils and hand-painted details. Many of our patterns draw on Edo komon, the fine repeating designs used on kimono. Embossing adds a raised texture that you can see and feel.
