Products Perfected with Time
Inden, a traditional Japanese technique from the kofu eria for drawing patterns on buckskin with Japan lacquer, has been used for the adornment of armor and bags for ages. At INDEN-YA, a buckskin base is thoroughly conditioned and flattened out before it is dyed and adorned with patterns using Japanese lacquer and stencils. In this way, superb products showing a unique touch and texture and produced. Inden products are not "finished" when they leave the workshop - this only comes after years to use.
INDEN-YA is a time-honored producer of leather produts designed to match modern lifestyles. The firm's long history and commitment to quality and superior craftsmanship has gained its products a respected reputation worldwide.
