I always felt attracted by the Japanese minimalist aesthetics. The traditional Kohaze clasps are the most simple fastening systems and it's been in use for more than five centuries. Making a pair of leather tabi boots with Kohaze following the priciples of functional footwear and with a gorgeous look it's been one of my greatest challenges. I managed to design a footwear that is healthy, unique, dressy, toe corrector and super comfortable, made by hand with strong ethical values
