Hender Scheme

Founded in Tokyo, Japan by designer Ryo Kashiwazaki, Hender Scheme is an independent brand that reimagines classic footwear and everyday objects through the lens of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Each piece is handmade in Asakusa, Tokyo’s historic leather-working district, where artisanal skill and modern design philosophy merge seamlessly. Best known for its “Gender Scheme” concept, the label challenges conventional boundaries of gendered design, instead creating timeless objects that celebrate individuality, materiality, and the passage of time. From hand-stitched leather shoes to thoughtfully constructed accessories, every product tells a story of process and personal evolution. Hender Scheme’s work is deeply rooted in craft, sustainability, and cultural reinterpretation. Vegetable-tanned leathers are used for their natural character and ability to age gracefully, developing a rich patina unique to each wearer. The result is a product that blurs the line between art and utility, a philosophy that reflects both Japanese tradition and modern minimalism.

At UJNG, we curate a selection of Hender Scheme shoes, accessories, and objects that embody the brand’s commitment to integrity and human touch. Each piece exemplifies quiet luxury, refined craftsmanship, and the enduring beauty of handmade design.
