Randoseru - Japanese schoolbag | ランドセル
The backpack you see is called Randoseru (ランドセル) and it is by far the most popular schoolbag used by primary school students across Japan.
The name randoseru derives from the Dutch word for backpack "ransel" and, although it was first introduced in Japan in the late 19th century, it became popular among students only in the 1960s.
At first the colors used were mainly two: red for woman and black for man.
However, more colors and patterns have been made available in recent years.
Randoseru can be made of leather (real or synthetic) and can be very expensive.
With a price range usually on the high side some branded randoseru with premium materials can cost over 100.000 yen ($950 - €850).
At supermarkets and chain stores you can definitely find better deals but in general you can expect to spend between 50.000 and 70.000 yen.
The high cost is somehow justified by the fact that these bags are practically military grade and can be used throughout the full primary school period (that in Japan is 6 years).
For this reason, the choice of Randoseru represents a milestone in the life of many primary students in Japan and often involves the whole family.

You're right actually 😂😂
Have any of you ever purchased a randoseru for your children? If not, would you consider buying one?

Not really. Looks really not practical without zippers turning the bag upside down or to the side can spill small items out of it. Also by the way "military grade" only sounds durable. It actually means "the lowest quality that will do the job" military equipment is made as cheap as possible. When you have to equip tens of thousands of people the price is really important.

@@h0ph1p13 I usually associate military grade with foolproofness and very simple and robust construction that is easy to manufacture in scale. You should also consider that all of the military grade things must be certified and meet some standards, so they are not like dirt cheap and bad, it has to perform in extreme conditions.
How are you bro? Good to see your vlog. It’s a good sign during this time. As a teacher here in Japan, I wondered at first why my students have these kinds of bag. You might make a vlog about it. Keep safe.

Hi. Is it possible to have a round lock?
It's military quality but it's not Army olive drab or camouflaged. Nice semi rigid backpack.

Well I guess a camouflaged bag at elementary school it's not the standard here 😂😂
If this is for primary school students, what do the older students usually get, like high school or college?
