Kimono Drawstring Bag - Medeta Tsudushi (Full of Auspiciousness) - Lucky Drawstring Bag, Large Size

<A unique beauty that brings you happiness> In the past, when people living in Watari, Miyagi Prefecture, gave gifts, they would place them in a "bag" made from leftover kimono fabric. For example, it might have been a 1.8-liter bottle of rice given as a celebration or a return gift. It had no set name and was called "fukuro" (bag), which was slurred into "fuguro." "FUGURO" is a remake that recreates this old custom. The material is kimono fabric with auspicious patterns, carefully selected from thousands of pieces sleeping in chests. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, with wishes for the recipient's happiness sewn into every stitch. We deliver a unique beauty that brings you happiness, by sewing your gratitude into our products, embodying the elegant custom of wrapping and gifting precious items. We use two colors of thread, matching the colors of the outer and inner fabrics. Please enjoy the beautiful stitching that is pleasing to the eye. <A Japanese Gift> As the material is kimono fabric, a symbol of Japanese culture, our products are also used as souvenirs for overseas visitors or as gifts for foreign guests. They are compact and convenient to carry.

Please note that the pattern may differ slightly from the photo due to the cutting position of the fabric. * Please note that the color and texture may appear different from the actual product on your screen. If you have any concerns, please contact us or refrain from purchasing. * As the kimono fabric used as material is often used and its material is not specified, it is often difficult to identify the material. We also thoroughly inspect and process the fabric, including washing, before remaking. Depending on the fabric, it may fade or shrink when wet, so please handle with care. * As we also sell on other sites, please forgive us if the item is sold out.
