The Japanese "Four Seasons" and Kyoto's "Elegance" on Collars & Leashes Kinran collars and leashes are made from the highest quality of Kyoto and Nishijin pure silk. The base is made from fine Italian natural leather, which leading leather brands also utilize. These items have been delicately made for gentleness to both your dog and the environment in mind. These collars were started when leather craftsman Mr. Nakagawa, an avid animal lover, made one for his beloved dog. How about giving your precious dog a unique, high-quality collar that's just full of a Japanese taste?

	Nishijin Kinran is the highest quality silk goods in Kyoto, which produces obi, kimono, and other traditional items using only the splendid and refined hand-weave techniques and designs. Warp weave (earth-colored threads) and pure silk are used to create the Kyoto Nishijin Kinran. Warp weaves (link type) restrict the patterns that appear in weft threads and foil. Within 1cm of material, there will be 150 threads of fine silk. As it is a very delicate textile, it really brings out the natural brilliance of silk. The material is not too thin, allowing it to produce a very flexible and gentle impression.		Italian Leather The finest leather that is imported from Italy. This high-quality natural leather is highly preferred by the Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium, based in Tuscany. With its strong elasticity and beautiful European finish, it is often used in many very well known brands.

Pig leather is woven into the clamp area for strength re-inforcement, and also into the handle area of the leash for added gripping comfort.

Instead of using a cheap resin buckle, all feature high-quality Japanese metal clamps. The collar and leash also do not use propylene tape in the materials.

The charm of Kinran Collars is that its difficult to find another one with the exact same pattern. The Kinran materials can only be taken bit by bit. As a result, even if the same colors or patterns are used, slight differences will emerge. Therefore, its very difficult to find two that are exactly the same. If you'd like for your dog to have a collar that's different from every other dog's, this is just the right item for you.

Attention ●As a result of the special nature of Kinran materials, and the method in which these materials are obtained, there will be differences in the knit pattern between the actual item and the sample listed on the site. We would appreciate your understanding in this matter. ●Depending on your computer settings, the color of the actual item may slightly differ. ●The clamps used have been carefully selected from Japanese-produced items. However, in the event of any metal allergies, or the clamp irritates your dog's skin, please stop using it immediately. ●Although the collar has undergone many repeated reinforcement tests, in the event of an accident during use we will bear no responsibility.
