KOTOKA is a leather shoe jointly developed and manufactured by seven shoe manufacturers in Nara (*). Like Japanese cuisine, we make use of the best ingredients, like Japanese architecture, which expresses the beauty of simplicity, and like the pillars of an old temple in Nara, we enjoy the expression that deepens over time. These leather shoes are made with Japanese sensibilities that have been passed down in Nara, giving you a sense of calm and peace similar to Nara. As a result of carefully selecting Japanese leather with a natural texture and minimizing stitching and lining, you can enjoy the comfort of a single piece of leather that gently hugs your feet, and the more you wear it, the more you can enjoy the leather texture. It became shoes. At the end of this year, KOTOKA will release 10 items from its limited edition “Japanese Traditional Colors” series. There are 5 Japanese colors that have been passed down since the Nara period: indigo ink, blue tan, karakurenai, birodo, and kuchinashi. KOTOKA is made by selecting a color and using leather with a similar color. The leather you choose will age, deepen its color, and increase its luster the more you wear it. This “KOTOKA Japanese Traditional Color” series is produced in very limited quantities. Sales are only available on the website. ◇“Nara Shoes” official homepage
