Everyone has seen Japanese elementary school students carry a big school bag, which looks very stylish and heavy. In fact, their school bags are very functional, and they have a special name called "Randseru".

These bags are said to have originated in the Edo period, when the shogunate introduced the Western military system and introduced backpacks from the Netherlands to Japan to store small items. The name is said to have been derived from the Dutch word "ransel", which later became "randoseru".

This kind of schoolbag used by children has the following characteristics:

Special design, light and easy to carry.

Most of these school bags are made of lightweight faux leather, which is wear-resistant and lightweight, and reduces the burden on the body. The design has S-shaped shoulder straps that gently follow the shoulder-to-chest line, and an upward back loop that conforms to the curve of the shoulder. By increasing the tightness between the backpack and the back, the weight can be distributed and the pressure on the body can be reduced.

And in order to fit the back of the human body, the inside of the back of the bag uses two cushioning materials of different hardness, in addition, the U-shaped notch increases breathability and prevents the back from being stuffy even in summer.

2.Large capacity, storage function.

The bag has a lot of space inside to hold A4 files and tablets. The main storage space is about 330 cm long x 23 cm wide, it can hold A4-sized books, documents and other items, and has a large capacity, so it is also suitable for high school students.

It is also designed with braces for sorting and storage, small braces allow for separate storage of various small stationery, and box-shaped pencil cases can be neatly placed in them.

3.Luminous and rainproof.

The shoulder straps and handles have reflective material, which reflects and alerts the driver that there is a child walking when the light from the car or bicycle hits it. It is safe to walk back and forth on dark roads at night or on rainy days.

The bag is made of waterproof faux leather, so you can carry it on your back with peace of mind even in the event of sudden rain. If it gets wet, gently wipe it with a dry cloth.

4.Careful and practical metal buckle.

The front of the bag is designed with a large round zipper pocket to store small items such as rain covers and handkerchiefs, which are easy to open and close, and easy to access. The round zippered pocket has a D-ring on the inside to keep your keys and more safe. And the D-ring allows the child to attach a safety buzzer to the safety buzzer, which can be pulled when in danger.
