While I was checking out leather workshops and ateliers, I learned about the origins of leather products, and now that I’ve bought a business card holder, I’m deeply convinced that Taito Ward is synonymous with leather! I hope that this work will help spread the appeal of Taito Ward and leather. “Mr. Leather and I” is also a story about two people who have various feelings about leather products. They’re not good at putting things into words, but when you finish watching it, you’ll feel like something close to you might connect you to someone far away. The story will continue slowly for a total of nine episodes, so please look forward to it. Keita Yoshikawa Taito Ward is proud of its “Leather Town” Taito Ward, which includes Ueno, Asakusa, Kuramae, and other areas, has long been a “town of manufacturing” where the manufacture of leather products and fashion accessories has
flourished. In this short drama, we will convey the charm of Taito Ward through “emotions” and “stories.” We will deliver an opportunity for the younger generation to empathize with the fact that “Taito Ward has cool leather.” Follow the official account to check the latest episode! All dramas are available for free on Instagram’s “Taito Sangyo Navi.” The length is easy to watch, so it’s perfect for the “spare time” on your commute to school or work. ▶ Click here for official Instagram https://www.instagram.com/taito_sangyo_navi/ Taito Fashion Fair Executive Committee Constituent Organizations: Taito Ward / Tohto Shoe Manufacturing Cooperative / Tokyo Bag Association / Tokyo Bag Association / Tokyo Hat Association / Tokyo Clothing Belt Industry Cooperative / Materials Association / Tokyo Clothing Accessories Industry Cooperative Contact information for this matter Taito Ward Office, Industrial Promotion Division Email:
