Re: Info about randoseru in Japan

The name randoseru comes from the old Dutch term for backpack: ransel or rantsel.

In swiss german the old term for backpack was "Ranzen" as well. Somehow it has changed its meaning from the back to the front: Today a Ranzen is a big belly on a man, often caused by excessive drinking. We call it a "Bierranzen".
