The Randoseru is a traditional Japanese schoolbag used by children to go to elementary school. It is a hard leather bag, resistant and comfortable, which is worn on the back. Japanese parents consider the Randoseru as an investment in their child’s future, as it is often passed down from generation to generation.
Origin of the Randoseru Schoolbag
The schoolbag was introduced to Japan during the Meiji era (1868-1912) by Christian missionaries. At that time, Japanese children went to school with a cotton or linen bag called “Azarashi Bukuro”. However, the missionaries introduced the concept of a leather satchel, which was more durable and comfortable for children. Thus was born the Randoseru.
