In compliance with the effluent standards of the Water Pollution Control Law of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Bureau of Environment, we have a complete effluent treatment facility on our factory premises. All industrial wastewater discharged from the plant is treated appropriately.

Regulation of Specific Aromatic Amines
Regulation of Specific Aromatic Amines

The "Law Concerning the Control of Household Products Containing Harmful Substances" has been revised and the sale of leather products (underwear, gloves, inner and outer clothing, hats, watch bands, and floor coverings) containing specified aromatic amines (carcinogenic amines) has been regulated since April 2016. If detected (exceeding 30 mg/kg), penalties such as recall orders and fines will be imposed.
With regard to the dyes (dyes and pigments) we use, we have declared to our suppliers that we do not use azo dyes (dyes and pigments) in which each of the 24 specified aromatic amines is detected, and we are working together with our suppliers to ensure this.

We accept orders for even a single piece of leather.
Please tell us about your "passion".

"Please feel free to contact us if you want to encounter more new leathers, create more interesting leather products, or if you are a corporate product developer or leather goods craftsman.
