Product code: Outlet Japanese Randoseru Backpack
In Japan, Randoseru is a leather backpack most commonly used by elementary schoolchildren. It has been used since the 1880s and it's not just any backpack one would throw on in the western world. At the end of the day stuffing supplies into their randoseru, swinging the heavy load onto their shoulders, and finding their friends to make the trek back home; these things all help form a kind of unity and bond that brings the kids together. The tradition of these backpacks has been going on for hundreds of years, much like some of these other school traditions have most likely been going on for even longer. The iconic shape and design are now slightly changing as times move forward, but it's still almost the same. It's in anime, tv outlet shows, toys, and nowadays, sometimes a fashion statement for adults.
