It has an uneven texture because of the scale pattern.
In addition, you can use the white gradation from the center to the  belly as an accent for the work.
 
It is the suede-like finish and characterized by fluff with a scale pattern. Leather with a large scale pattern is characterized by low abrasion resistance and dirt resistance, but this characteristic is remarkable in suede-like fish leather. Please handle with care. Due to the vegetable tannin tanning, the color gradually darkens over time (aging).
 
Since ancient times, salmon has been processed into leather by the Ainu people and northern tribes. One of the big reasons is the strength. Salmon leather has the highest strength among fish leather, and since there are many large individuals, people in the past used salmon leather to make clothes and shoes.
