One of Japan's unique school culture is "𝑅𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑢 (ランドセル)" or school bags! It's one of the must-have items for elementary school children in Japan. Some of you might have seen them in Japanese anime and comics! In Japan, the new school year starts in April. Although it's been only a few weeks into April, randoseru for children who will be entering elementary school in April 2023 are already available!

These bags are equipped with dividers and zippered pockets to easily organize school materials, notebooks, handkerchiefs, pocket tissues, and other personal belongings, shoulder straps designed to make the school bags easy to carry, and many other useful features. And above all, they're sturdy to last for 6 years of elementary school life!

Nowadays, randoseru are available in so many colors, but when I was a child in the 90s, the choices were most often red or black! Very few classmates carried pink or navy, and as a child I found them so cool♬ Here are some randoseru available at Keio Department Store's Kidswear Corner on 7th Floor.

【How to choose RANDOSERU】
☆Material
Aritificial leather is lightweight and comes in a wide variety of designs and colors. If you're looking for a classy design with durability, cowhide is reccommended.

★Size
If you want your child to use randoseru until upper elementary grades when the amount of textbooks and notebooks tend to increase, you might want to choose a randoseru that is large enough to carry A4-size files. You would also want to choose a wide one.

☆Fitting
The fitting of a randoseru depends on the "back strap," which is located at the base of the shoulder belts and connects the bag to the shoulder belts. It's important to have your child actually try it on and choose the one that is comfortable to carry.


If you have a child about to enter elementary school or already in elementary school, why not try a Japanese school bag?
