In 2019, the wallet that achieved the number one position in the crowdfunding wallet category in Japan has been renewed.
The beautiful and easy-to-use “small and thin wallet” designed by architect Hironao Sato has evolved into smaller and larger capacities.
We have adopted the “HITOE® structure” technology that solves the overlap between cards and coins, which is the number one cause of thick wallets.
It has a large capacity that can store up to 30 banknotes, 20 coins, and 20 cards, and a thinness of about 10 mm even when storing 10 cards, 10 banknotes, and 10 coins.
Highly durable, custom-made fastener “Excella”
YKK’s highest-end fastener “Excella” is used for the fastener that is the key to usability.
Excella, which has been carefully polished and refined one by one, has excellent durability due to its high dimensional accuracy, so you may feel the hardness at the beginning of use, but it will become smoother as you use it.
Commitment to materials
“HITOE® FOLD -Liscio-” uses “Vacetta leather” made by the tanning method that has been handed down in Tuscany, Italy since the beginning of the 9th century.
The leather, which is tanned with natural tree tannins and carefully soaked with oil, has a unique sticky suppleness, and you can enjoy the moisturized and glossy leather almost forever.
The more you use it, the more oil contained inside will seep out of the Air holes, and no oil care is required.

Also back this year is the popular Japanese Stollen, which was a big hit last year. This is a special cake that can only be tasted at Kimuraya, using Japanese-inspired ingredients such as persimmons, figs and koshi-an (sweet bean paste).

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
