1,300 years ago,
Nara was the capital of Japan.
KOTOKA is made here, in Nara. -
Nara is a serene place.
It's why we're able to make shoes
that make you feel so relaxed and at ease. -
Nara is home to age-old temples.
They have an aura
that only time can instill,
like leather shoes that have been worn in. -
No two stones are the same.
No two people have the same feet.
Our shoes wrap them in supple leather. -
Ornamentation is stripped away,
leaving only the bare minimum.
That is how our designs start,
resulting in shoes like these. -
There is a unique beauty in something
that can be used forever.
Like our shoes made of quality leathers. -
We make shoes
that exhibit the same kind of beauty of the
simple structure of an old Japanese house. -
People are as diverse as the infinite colors
that fall between black and white.
Our shoes are made for such a diverse mix
of individuals. -
Picture yourself
walking a long path - a path like life.
To enjoy the experience,
you'll need shoes that fit your feet intimately. -
Fall is the season in which
great harvests reward hard workers.
In the same way, comfort rewards those
who wear in their shoes. -
When worn with care over many years,
fine leather shoes take on an aura like
this beautifully manicured garden.
