Japanese School Bag (Black)

Very pleased with purchase. Quality craftsmanship. Excellent service as evidenced by careful packaging; it arrived in perfect condition from Japan to Virginia without a scratch or dent on the inner or outer boxes. I also received email communication from the seller about the initial delivery attempt. The email may have been automated, but I still appreciated it. I ended up having to go to the post office to pick it up, which was fine, because I wouldn't have wanted this left on my doorstep. Although I haven't used the randoseru yet, when I tried it on, the padding on the back and straps made it comfortable. I like the rigid box shape, because the contents will stay in place without getting jumbled. A word of caution: rigid box shape will not be conducive to over stuffing like a regular nylon-type backpack. Full disclosure: I am a small adult, and I purchased this more for the novelty and fun, than everyday hard-use. I purchased this in black, so it would match most things, but it's not jet black. It almost seems like it's a very dark brown-black, darker than espresso, but not pure black. Personally, I might've preferred this in red.
