Vanitas is a genre of still-life painting that originated in northern Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. It explores the meaninglessness of life and the transience of vanity, often depicting the Virgin Mary, roses, and plants as symbols of life, while frequently featuring skulls as symbols of death.

Vanitas is a wearable leather art brand that expresses the worldview of "Vanitas" in leather items. Using the unique techniques of Japanese leather artist Seijun Matsumura, the sculptures, which combine skulls and plants, are created from a single piece of leather. They are expressed using two different techniques that are normally considered incompatible: lift-up (creating three dimensions) which processes leather less than 1 mm thick, and carving (sculpting) which requires a thickness of nearly 2 mm. The skulls are depicted down to each tooth and even the finest cracks, and the plants are depicted from a single petal to the veins of the leaves. Both are finished with delicate detail, while also pursuing power and luxury, a design that can only be achieved by a craftsman with high skill and sensitivity.


At this order event, we will be offering a total of six types of leather items, including clutch bags, wallets, and smartphone cases, all created with the artist's exceptional skills. We will also be accepting color orders for the leather and stitching, as well as initial engraving.
Please take this precious opportunity to appreciate the beauty of form created from a single piece of leather.
