With the start of the new school year in April in Japan, newly enrolled elementary school children commonly receive a school bag satchel from their guardians, known as randoseru, which commonly accompany them until middle school. The majority of guardians bought the school bags around one year prior according to a survey conducted in February 2024. Around 20 percent of responding guardians of children enrolling into elementary school in April of that year, May 2023 was the time when they purchased the bag. August followed as the second most common month.
