What is the charm of SANYOYAMACHO's "Kanzaburo," a U-tip with craftsmanship that shines through?

SANYOYAMACHO” is one of the leading shoe brands in Japan. Sanyo-Yamacho has gained the support of many fans for its honest craftsmanship, luxurious feel, and classic manufacturing methods that are typical of Japanese leather shoes. This time, we focus on the “Kanzaburo” derby shoes made by SANYOYAMACHO and introduce their charm!

SANYOYAMACHO is a leather shoe brand whose philosophy is based on Japanese “chic,” “skill,” and “craftsmanship

SANYO SANCHO” is a brand of leather shoes that began in October 2000 as “SANYO SANCHO SHOES HONPO” and became the current brand name one year later when the trademark was acquired by SANYO, a major apparel manufacturer in Japan. The brand’s philosophy is “technique,” “iki,” and “Takumi,” and its leather shoes are a fusion of modern and classic styles based on traditional leather shoe design.

One of the unique advantages of Japanese shoe brands is that they design and adopt lasts that fit Japanese people’s foot shapes. The fit and hold that fits the shape of the Japanese foot, which is not found in Western shoes, has an established reputation. In addition, by having its own producers stand in its stores, the company listens directly to feedback from customers, and its lineup of designs reflects this feedback. While respecting the tradition of shoemaking, the company is flexible in its manufacturing and offers a variety of models. Women’s shoes with more freedom of design are also popular.

Model naming with a unique world view is one of the appeals of this brand.

One of SANYOYAMACHO’s unique characteristics is that each shoe is given a model name like a person’s name. These model names all have meanings, which can be checked on the ” Wood Shape Correlation Chart ” on the official site. For example, the first letter of the model name means the type of design: “Tomo” in Tomonosuke means straight tip, “Gen” in Genshiro means double monk, and “Kan” in Kanzaburo, the model introduced here, is assigned a U-tip design. The second and third letters are named to reflect the last (wooden pattern) used. The “Kanzaburo” introduced this time is a model name meaning “Kan” = U-tip and “Saburo” = R2010 last.
