=about artist=
I started making leather crafts as a hobby around 2000. The addition of the gamaguchi (gamaguchi) element to it attracted a lot of attention, and it continues to this day.
I see great potential in hand-stitched leather products.
I also like to use leather materials to create reptile-like shapes.
Please enjoy the slightly mysterious shape that can be used not only as a decoration, but also as a bag for everyday use.
