Description
Experience the Perfect Fusion of Tradition and Modern Craftsmanship!
Our Leather Yugake are a masterful reproduction of the original yukake worn by samurai during the Sengoku and Edo Eras. Handcrafted with passion and precision, these gloves are made using either white or brown genuine deer leather or durable hog hide, offering the perfect blend of comfort, protection, and traditional style. Traditionally, white leather is smoked to achieve a subtle yellow tint known as fusube gawa, while the brown option exudes a rich, natural tone. Our artisans use a high-quality tanning process and modern artisan techniques to print intricate egawa designs directly onto the leather, preserving the soft, supple qualities of deerskin—which remains ultra-soft and resilient even after getting wet—and ensuring affordability compared to more traditional methods.
For those who prefer robust durability, our hog hide gloves offer a moderately supple feel with excellent resistance to abrasion. Known for its resilience, pigskin stays pliable with wear and does not stiffen when wet, making it ideal for active use and sword handling. These gloves provide both protection and enhanced tactile sensitivity for any samurai enthusiast, martial artist, or historical reenactor.
Please inquire via email or on your order form about our custom design options. Our samurai clothing and accessories have been featured in numerous movies, TV series, and documentaries—including the docudrama “Age of Samurai: Battle for Japan” by Netflix and the Smithsonian Channel.
