Our skins are of higher quality than most obtained from China or India. They have larger naval knots (oyatsubu), more consistent and thicker skin (lower quality skin can be seen through and have holes, inconsistent nodes, discolorations). These skins have been used to supply well known tsukamakishi in Japan, as well as the USA. These have gone through a tanning process and are soft, pliable, and uxorious. They are used for many things, from wallets, to bags, to bows and arrows, but are not typically used for tsuka or saya on swords. These are high quality dyed leather skins.
