Edo Wind Chimes made from Schoolbag Leather
"TSUCHI-YA" produced product "Edo Wind Chimes made from Schoolbag Leather Strips" in 9 colors.
It will be available in limited quantities from Saturday, June 24, 2023.
I came across this at Shinohara Furin Honpo, a long-established Edo wind chime store .
The wind chimes used are made of clear glass with bubbles and wrinkles.
Because it is not suitable for painting,
The unused wind chimes were combined with the leather of "Tsuchiya Kaban's school bags" to create
Upcycled into colorful Edo wind chimes.
Sold at TSUCHI-YA Asakusa Kappabashi main store and on the EC site.
The price is 4,950 yen including tax.
Wind chimes with a rich variety of expressions that only glass can offer
Edo wind chimes are characterized by their various designs.
Because Edo wind chimes are painted from the inside, the surface remains glossy.
Because of the demand for gloss and luster,
Anything with bubbles or wrinkles on the surface will never see the light of day.
We believe that it is these unpainted wind chimes that
I thought that there was an appeal to handmade glass.
Colorful leather school bags
The wind chimes this time are "colors that even adults would want."
Prism Blue, Prism Khaki, Gray,
Camel, pistachio, mint blue,
Available in 9 colors: lavender, ivory, and beige.
