To meet the demands of gentlemen who have always been aesthetically pleasing, he is required to have a corresponding skill. At that time, Iwajiro Otsuka, who was a well-known shoemaker who took orders from customers, continued to refine his technique in order to meet their bottomless demands, even though shoemaking technology was still in its infancy. .

Nearly 100 years from now, the first shoes introduced in the Otsuka catalog published in 1897. It is precisely because Iwajiro Otsuka had the most confidence in her beauty that she was placed at the top of the list.

The beauty that captures the eyes of those who see it will not change at all even after the passage of time. The aesthetic within us has an undeniably undeniable beauty.
Because it is a classic design, its conspicuousness stands out in modern times. Universal beauty is no longer modern
It doesn't even need to be reinterpreted. Its existence itself is “beautiful.”

And the thick comfort of the pout that wraps around the ankle is a "special
Wearing a "thing" makes the wearer aware of it.
Even the gesture of buttoning the shoes is part of the beauty of these shoes.

The traditional design that once graced the top of Otsuka's catalog shines even brighter in modern times without losing its presence.

In the world of clothing and accessories, buttons occupied the leading role before zips and lace-up shoes appeared.
