This guy is a very traditional professional craftman in Japanese leather world.
One of traditional techniques called Koba-nuri is now very popular and common, but it’s considered this craftman invented this technique first, and even today, no other craftmen can do it better than him.
For the sake of making everything thin and light, the body of the wallet, front and back, is made only with one piece of leather. This clearly requires high skill, and it’s only this craftman who can make satisfying products.
Many other common style wallets are made of one front leather and one back leather. So it buldges when you fold it in the middle. And that part gets damaged as it’s folded repeatedly.
However, as mentioned before, this wallet is made out of only two pieces of leather, like Japanese origami folding paper. It doesn’t have any spare space between the front and the back, which enables very sharp shape wallet.
It may sound easy, but actually it requires real skilled technique to sew the leather this finely.
Please, have a very careful look at its artistic stitches.
