More about the Brand Owner

時井 勇樹

YUKI TOKII

Lives in Kobe. Aiming to be "the best leather item in life", we plan and develop shark leather wallets and business card holders that pursue practical beauty. In February 2016, he established AtelierShark, LLC, the first company in Japan to specialize in manufacturing and planning small shark leather goods. After the Great East Japan Earthquake, the representative continued to support the reconstruction of Tohoku from Kobe, which was once damaged by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. He was fascinated by the shark leather from Kesennuma, which is said to be of the highest quality in the world, and in 2013 he started a project to convey the appeal of shark leather, which he encountered in Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture (* the largest port city in Japan in terms of the amount of shark landed). We collaborate with famous leather brands in Japan and overseas to convey the goodness of materials to the world. Since then, he has started his own business.

Why are we doing?

Show original
The Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred on March 11, 2011 was the trigger.
 
We live in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, and are working to support the reconstruction of Tohoku economically from a land about 1,000 km away from Kesennuma.
In the past, Kobe was also severely damaged by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. At that time, we received warm support from all over the country. More than 20 years have passed since the disaster, and Kobe has finally recovered.
 
Real reconstruction is not about making the city clean.
That the people who live there can laugh and live in the city they loved.
Earthquakes cause us to lose a lot of important things.
Family, friends, possessions, homes, shops, favorite scenery...
 
What we can do is really small. Even so, I found what I could do by visiting Tohoku as a volunteer, interacting with the local people, and learning about the local culture.
 
That's right, I met the shark leather of Kesennuma.
Kesennuma is the port city with the largest shark catch in Japan, with a domestic market share of over 90%.
Seafood processing such as shark fin is thriving.
 
In 2013, we started activities to convey the charm of shark leather in the hope that we could support Kesennuma in fields other than seafood processing, which many volunteer organizations and companies are already supporting, and help it recover as a world-class "shark town."
 
The dyeing process of shark leather requires a special process and a high level of workmanship, which is not found in other leathers such as cowhide.
 
We will continue to manufacture world-class products for the reconstruction of Kesennuma, and once the area of the disaster area is improved, we will build a factory in the area and create employment. By doing so, we hope to create an environment where local people affected by the disaster can work with a smile on their faces.
 
My feelings grew stronger as the years passed, and in February 2016, I started a business to support the disaster-stricken areas economically for a long time with an eye on the next 10 years until reconstruction.

What are we doing?

We plan and sell wallets and small leather goods using Yoshikiri shark leather from Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture, which is said to be of the highest quality in the world.
We are the first shark leather specialty store in Japan and rare in the world.
 
We aim to be a sustainable and sustainable business, such as storing shark leather scraps generated in the manufacturing process without throwing away a single piece.
 
Shark leather is resistant to scratches and water damage, and is durable and can be used for a long time. On the other hand, since it is a natural product and difficult to process, wallets and bags made of shark leather tend to be rare and expensive. However, we thought that if it was a trial product that was conscious of upcycling, it would be an opportunity for many people to come into contact with shark leather as if it were a trial.
The representative work that was born as something that can be made in less than 1 deci (10 cm square: the smallest unit of leather) is Watson, our most popular shark leather multi-tool.
 
As a leather brand specializing in shark leather, we will contribute to the achievement of the SDGs goals of "12 Responsible Production and Consumption" and "14 Protecting the richness of the oceans" by spreading the appeal of shark leather.
In addition, our company, which was founded with the aim of contributing to the reconstruction of the disaster-stricken areas of Tohoku from a long-term economic perspective, will promote the effective use of shark resources through manufacturing that makes use of shark leather from Kesennuma.
 
We like Tohoku.
I love the people of Tohoku who always welcome me warmly and teach me the strength to face adversity and hardship through their actions.
Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture is the port city with the largest amount of shark landings in Japan. It is also a disaster area of the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011. Someday, in the not-too-distant future, we dream of the day when we can achieve true reconstruction by making it known to the world as a "shark town."
 
We love sharks.
When people see it, they say, "That's good!" or "It's cute!!" We make exciting shark leather products that make you want to tell people without thinking, "This is made of shark leather!"
 
Please take advantage of this and thank you, Shark!

Commitment to the product

In our shop, in order to express the beauty of shark leather to the maximum, we design it in combination with different materials such as cowhide and metal fittings. This is because if you make a work only of shark leather, it tends to have a monotonous expression. By identifying the materials and colors that match shark leather and tailoring them by hand one by one, we aim to create products that can be attractive.
 
Also, because it is used on a daily basis, it should not impair the feeling of use.
We believe that it is important to achieve a practical and stress-free feeling of use, while conveying the charm of shark leather.
As a result, some of them take more than a year from conception to the release of new works.
 
After more than a dozen meetings, prototypes, and adjustments, we finish a shark leather product that is both comfortable to use and beautiful.
 
In addition, due to the fact that it is a natural material, we specify the direction of cutting and the method of leather in detail for each work, according to the expression of the leather, which has individual differences, and pay close attention to bring out the expression of the leather.
 
It's easy to put into words, but shark leather dyeing, work design, sewing tailoring... In all processes, professionals in each field face each other sincerely, and our works are finally sent out into the world.
 
I believe that this is only possible because of the skills that careful and honest Japan craftsmen have cultivated over many years and their passionate passion for manufacturing.
 
Because it is a Japan material, we want to carefully work on it in Japan Japan. Such thoughts spread to realize purely domestic manufacturing.
