Traditional Japanese School Bag Colors Have Evolved
When I lived in Japan, there were the leather packs but also natural white canvass ones. They were sometimes associated with the bullies of the neighborhood who also walked around in Geta's (wooden flip-flops) just to be tough (they're so old, I couldn't even find an image on the web). That showroom above is SO Ginza.
Those look as unnecessarily large and heavy as the traditional German school bags. At least the German bags have a lumbar belt to put the load on the hips and off the back and shoulders - not that any kid has them adjusted properly.
