Hansei Wallet: Minimalist Leather Wallet by Kisetsu Leather

The Story Behind Hansei

hansei

Hansei is a japanese term that means "reflection" (反省)

Hansei (反省) is inspired by the Japanese philosophy, a practice of self-reflection and continuous improvement.

The idea for the Hansei Wallet was designed with the inspiration of reflection by evaluating our past design and identifying the areas for improvement.

Hansei brings together the best features of our popular Kaizen and Aki, offering versatile storage, a quick access slot and multiple compartments to meet our everyday needs.

Versatile Storage:

The Hansei Wallet holds coins, cash, and cards, and even includes a handy pen holder for your convenience.

Multiple Compartment:

Hansei, brings out multiple compartments for your cards, a total of five different places where you can hold from 6 - 9 cards.

1. Pull Tab for Easy Card Access
2. Front Slot for Your Most-Used Card
3. 2x Hidden Card Slots Inside the Cash Compartment
4. Back Slot for Fast Card Access

Quick Access Slot:

Like the Aki, it comes with a quick access card slot in the back, which is convenient for commuting or payment.

It's ideal for those seeking a sleek, professional appearance.

It is perfect for individuals who appreciate a rustic, evolving aesthetic.

Calf Full Grain Leather - Perfect if you want something smooth, soft, and glossy, but still natural.

In a world full of distractions, the Hansei Wallet serves as a quiet companion in your daily life to pause, reflect, and improve for the better.

Every time you pick it up, use it or slip it in your pocket, it serves as a gentle nudge to pause and ask yourself: What have I done well? What can I do better?  

By carrying the Hansei Wallet, you are not just holding your wallet - you are carrying a mindset. 

One that values simplicity, awareness, and the lifelong journey of improvement. Let it be a subtle reminder that self-reflection is not a one-time act, but a way of living. 

This is the way of Hansei.
