A style that was very popular in the early Showa era. Introducing products using push caps.

Push-fit caps have been loved by Japanese people for a long time as one of the hook fittings.
Its beautiful curves and thinness give it a stylish image that remains attractive throughout the ages.

A push cap is one of the many types of hook fittings.
Currently, the production volume of push caps is decreasing, but in the early Showa era they were known as a metal fitting that was often used in small wallets used by children.

The characteristic of such push caps is that they do not have any protruding parts called "twists" that are found on the top of common hook caps.
It is also thin and lightweight, so you can easily carry it anywhere you want without adding bulk.

Because the press cap has a very complex structure, all production is done by hand.
Furthermore, since the production requires a wealth of experience and skilled techniques, the number of specialized craftsmen active in Japan is now very small.

The design with gentle curves is sure to have a universal cuteness regardless of gender or age.
The slim shape is suitable for the cashless era, and it won't look out of place even if you put it in the pocket of a suit or jacket.

After the war, the number of pushpieces produced suddenly decreased, and these metal fittings are now quite rare.
Products using SOT push clasps are created by one skilled craftsman carefully handcrafting each piece.
