Animals are processed into meat so that we can survive, and the by-product of this process is skin. The tanner transforms this skin, a "by-product of life," into leather.
Black bass in Lake Biwa are captured under the pretext of extermination, but fortunately they end up being eaten. However, inedible parts such as the skin were currently used as fertilizer or discarded.
I learned that Shinki Leather is reviving black bass skin into leather. As someone who works with leather and as an angler, I want people to know more about the leather of Lake Biwa's black bass, which is a by-product of life, and I would like to let them swim in the lake once again. This idea reached Shinki Leather, and they were able to make it a reality in the form of a leather lure.
