The Origin of Inden The craft of processing deerskin is recorded in the Nihon Shoki as being brought by Korean leather craftsmen in the sixth year of Emperor Ninken (493 AD). At that time, they used dyes extracted from the roots of purple gromwell and the juice of madder roots, and then painted pictures or imprinted patterns using woodblocks, etc., and colored them. From this, it was brought about It seems that there was also a technique of coloring with smoke by applying pine resin, etc., from that time. In the 900s AD, warriors began to use it for armor, and the patterns also increased in variety, such as small cherry blossoms, irises, and diamonds. After the Onin War (1467), the leather craftsmen flourished greatly because they reflected the turbulent times and were involved in military affairs. Takeda Shingen was born in 1521 (the first year of Daiei), and the history of Inden in Kai Province began here. The bags called Shingen-bukuro were large enough to hold the armor of the time, and the durability of deerskin was valued. It was presented to the shogunate in 1624 (the sixth year of Kanei).
