It is a leather product made by processing deer hide, and is unique in that rather than simply tanning the hide, it is dyed after being tanned and the pattern is drawn with lacquer. Deer leather is softer than cow leather and has fine wrinkles called ``shibo'' on its surface, making it durable, lightweight, and comfortable to the body, so it has been valued since ancient times.
