What Are Those Japanese Backpacks Called?
The Indestructible Japanese School Bag
I don’t know about you, but I have way too many backpacks. One for weekend getaways, one for hiking and adventuring, one specifically for photography…
The list goes on…
Honestly I probably shouldn’t have so many (and still want more…), but technically they all have their uses.
At least, that’s how I justify the purchases to myself. HA!
Long story short, these Japanese backpacks are called ‘Randoseru’ (ランドセル) and are usually given to students in their first year of school and kept normally up to 6th Grade. They’re solidly built, able to carry papers, books, laptops, and food, without damaging anything. This makes them a very popular choice for younger and older school students alike.
Of course, as always, there are a few more questions I want to answer about these Japanese backpacks before I put the subject to rest.
So let’s get started!
