Japanese Natural Vegetable Tanned Leather Handmade Leather keychain leather keyring key holder Daruma

This leather is Tochigi leather.

A key chain with a cat engraved on red vegetable tanned leather using a laser cutting machine.

This keychain is engraved with a pattern that is famous for being used as a talisman to ward off epidemics in Japan.

Created by hand sewing.
Daruma dolls are associated with a well known Japanese proverb, 'nana korobi yaoki', which means, fall down seven times, get up eight. The Daruma doll’s rounded shape allows it to return to its original position even if knocked over, representing persistence and strength. Daruma reminds us all to never, ever give up on our goals throughout life.

Traditionally you can set yourself a goal or wish by painting the left eye of the Daruma doll first, and once your goal/wish has been fulfilled you can fill in the right eye to thank the daruma!

The lucky key chain is made of brass, but the ring is plated.

The Daruma doll was engraved with laser engraving.
Since it is tanned leather, the color may change over time.

Since it is natural leather, it will feel stiff at first, but it will become softer as you use it.

There is a possibility that the actual photo may differ from the photo on your computer.

Since natural materials are used, there may be uneven coloring, scratches, wrinkles, etc. Please understand that this is handmade.
It shows the animal's past appearance, various characteristics that can be known, and ``evidence of life'' such as scars, wrinkles, blood vessel traces, and color shading.
Just like our human skin, it is not a completely solid color, and no other skin is exactly the same.
