Hello again! Remind us who you are and what business you started.

Hi! I'm Kan Yamamoto, the designer and the maker of the Kamino Wallet.

I make minimalist, eco-friendly paper wallets out of washable paper to help you lighten the load on your pocket and the environment.

The slim bifold wallet is my best selling product so far, and my customers love its seamless origami design, which is pretty minimalistic while keeping its versatility.

Since I opened my shop in June 2018, it has grown slowly but steadily. Though I'm based in a rural village in Japan, my products are loved by many users from all around the globe.
