Since ancient times, Otoritake has been used in many crafts due to its flexibility and strength. Both are rare bamboo materials that are becoming harder to obtain year by year. Taking full advantage of these materials, Yoshiharu Yamagishi, the second generation of Taketora, created this one-of-a-kind item, the Soottake Ajiro Handbag Bag.
