A randoseru (?????) is a firm-sided backpack made of stitched firm leather or leather-like synthetic material, most commonly used in Japan by elementary schoolchildren.
Randoseru, from the German and Dutch words meaning backpack, has been a prominent feature of Japanese elementary school life since the post-war period. Its history, however, began in the late Edo period when randoseru-like leather bags began being used by the modernizing Japanese military.
Randoseru range in price between ¥10,000 to ¥100,000 (usually for luxury versions). It's a good idea to set your budget so that you can zero in on the bag market of your choice. Also, have no fear because at all of the price points, there are many styles and colors to choose from.
