About

野生由来の国産鹿革

Management Philosophy

The Hokkaido Origin People Ainu call deer "YUKU".
Inheriting the spirit of the Ainu, who respected all things of nature and coexisted as KAMUI (Gods), YDLW aims to reduce to zero the disposal of deer skins that have been killed by animal extermination. We will produce the best deerskin in Japan from deer that are exterminated in Hokkaido by manufacturing and selling it as attractive leather jackets.

We do not waste the lives taken by extermination.
We believe that we need to utilize every bit of the deerskin, meat, and bones, just as the Ainu did to preserve their lives, and bring the number of discarded lives as close to zero as possible.
We aim to achieve a sustainable society where we can coexist with deer while reducing agricultural damage by producing high-value-added products.
