A craft-oriented series built around the ideal shoe envisioned by artisans, produced in small batches of a few dozen pairs at a time at a factory in Saga for approximately 30 years. Within Moonstar, it places a greater emphasis on handwork, combining supple leather, rounded forms, the stitch-down construction method, a lasting process, and a proprietary sole. It is positioned as everyday footwear designed to be worn naturally over time. Separate from the mass-production lines, it serves to carefully demonstrate what shoes should be at their core.
