Kimono Drawstring Bag Chrysanthemum Pattern Lucky Drawstring Pouch

<Unique Beauty That Brings You Happiness> In the past, when the people of Watari, Miyagi Prefecture, gave gifts, they would place them in a "bag" made from leftover fabric from old kimonos. For instance, it might have been used for a 1.8-liter bottle of rice given as a celebration or a return gift. It didn't have a fixed name and was called "FUGURO," a slurred form of "fukuro" (bag). "FUGURO" is a remake that recreates this traditional custom. The materials are kimono fabrics with auspicious patterns, carefully selected from thousands of kimonos sleeping in dressers. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted with a wish for the happiness of the person who receives it. We deliver a unique beauty that brings you happiness, infusing the product with a spirit of gratitude and the elegant custom of wrapping and gifting precious items. We use two colors of thread to match the colors of the outer and inner fabrics. Please enjoy the beautiful stitching that is pleasing to the eye. <Chrysanthemum Pattern> "Longevity," "Wish for Rejuvenation," "Wish for Health." Chrysanthemums were believed to have anti-aging properties and were used medicinally. They are considered the king of herbs and a symbol of longevity. <Japanese Gift> As the materials are kimono fabrics, which symbolize Japanese culture, they are often taken overseas as souvenirs or given as gifts to foreign visitors. They are compact and convenient to carry. We include a bilingual (Japanese/English) product description. <Versatile Use> Use it as a bag-in-bag, a small pouch for keys or supplements, or to hold snacks for your office break time. It can also serve as a decorative interior accent in your living room. Enjoy finding new ways to use it, limited only by your imagination. It is also reversible. <The Joy of Gazing and Collecting> The kimono fabrics, adorned with auspicious patterns, are items that bring a sense of happiness just by looking at them. By collecting your favorite pieces, you can create your own personal gallery.

Please note that the pattern placement may differ slightly from the photo depending on the cut of the fabric. * Please be aware that the color and texture may appear different on your screen compared to the actual product. If you have any concerns, please contact us or refrain from purchasing. * Since the kimono fabrics used as materials are often used and unlabeled, we are frequently unable to identify the specific materials. We thoroughly inspect and process the fabrics, including washing, before remaking them. Please handle with care as some fabrics may fade or shrink when wet. * As these items are also sold on other sites, please forgive us in case of a sell-out.
