CURA CSS-121 Sanada Woven Silk & Leather Neck Strap (120cm) - Black

Shin-Sanada String Strap

The "Sanada String Strap", which has been popular as a long seller since the previous model, has been renewed with a new color and new pattern. The new Sanada string strap has a new traditional colour pattern inherited from the first generation. Aiming for a youthful and modern design that matches modern cameras, it was reborn into a completely new one by the hands of Mr. Sanada and Mr. Ichimura. We are also particular about the details. The root leather at the tip, which used to be used nume leather in all colours, has been changed to "black leather" to match the colour of the string in the new colours black and khaki. I finished it with a more heavy styling. It is a lineup that fans so far can enjoy with a fresh feeling.

Sanada Design Commitment: The first and second generation Sanada string straps are designed to put the Sanada string itself in front, and the ring is designed to pass directly to the Sanada string. In the second generation, by equipping the leather as standard, the ring does not hit the camera body. The third generation has improved the robustness as a camera strap while expressing the beauty of Sanada string, and has reached a strong and beautiful form. And this time, the Shin-Sanada string was newly rewoven for the first time, and the root leather at the tip was also arranged to match the colour of the string, and black and khaki were arranged with black leather and orange with nume leather.

Brass Rings: The original brass ring is used for Kura CURA's ring-type camera strap, including the Sanada string strap. This ring is made of a metal called brass, which is also used in the body of antique cameras. Therefore, it is softer than iron rings sold in general, and not only is it difficult to damage the eyelets and body, but it is also easy to open when installed and is gentle on nails. In the manufacturing process, it takes about 20 hours to slowly polish and finish it smoothly in order to apply chrome plating while eliminating metal burrs. As a result, it not only emits a beautiful glow, but also allows you to enjoy ageing by using it.

Genuine Leather: The Sanada string strap is made of high-quality genuine leather. The nume leather is not dyed, so it is a beautiful beige colour at first, but as you use it, you can enjoy aging into a more beautiful candy colour.

Length: There are two types of Sanada string straps, 100cm and 120cm.
100 cm is a length that is easy to shoot immediately by lowering the camera body forward when you hang it around your neck. When carrying the camera for a longer time, we have a lineup that suits the size of the camera, the user's physique, and the shooting scene at a length that is easy to hold by hanging diagonally.

Genuine Silk Sanada String Neck Strap

Sanada Tsuki, woven by Fujisai Ichimura, the only Sanada string master in Kanto who has inherited the family business since the Taisho period, is woven on a well-kept wooden loom that has been used since its founding. This loom creates a unique thickness and supple string of Fujisai. The Sanada rope of "Fujinai" is not only favored by famous teachers in the tea ceremony and pottery worlds, but also used in tea utensils and ceramic paulownia boxes that are delivered to the Imperial Household Agency. This product is a camera strap made of Sanada string, a traditional craft.

What is Sanada Tsubu?

It is said that the name was given because Yukimura Sanada, a warlord in the Sengoku period, and his father, Masayuki, used it for armor and armor as a "strong and strong string". Even with the same string, the general braid is tied, and the Sanada string is said to be woven. The Sanada string is woven with warp and weft, so it does not stretch, and it is a strong string with tension that is resistant to re-tying. It can probably be said to be the narrowest fabric in the world. The impressive woven pattern unique to the fabric is matched to the front and back of the string, so it has a unique beauty that other strings do not have. In the past, it was also used for sword hanging ropes, tasuki, merchant's bands, and men's belts.

Tradition that has been passed down

It is Ichimura Sanada string that has been going on since the Taisho period, but it seems that there were many people who weaved it before the war. However, while many of the same industry burned down in air raids during the war or closed down due to evacuation and chaos, it was miraculously recoup and inherited to the present without being burned down. After the war, I gradually recovered my work and bought a mass-produced iron loom and produced it, but I couldn't weave beautiful things that were thick and supple and wide as before, and now I'm still covered with dust behind the workshop, and I'm particular about the current wooden loom. I continue to weave Sanada strings. Ichimura Sanada-tsuru, who has been known as a skilled Sanada string master since its founding, and the string woven by the third generation "Ichimura Fujisai" are used by the Imperial Household Agency, the Agency for Cultural Affairs, the tea house, the Goto Museum of Art, the Nezu Museum, etc., and currently, Sanada string master who weaves with such a wooden loom is the country It seems that there is only one house inside.
