Kimono Silk Pouch FUGURO Lucky Charm Premium Fan Pattern Kanoko Pattern Silk

<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 remnants of old kimonos. For example, it might have been a measure of rice given as a celebration or a return gift. There was no set name, and "fukuro" (bag) was slurred into "fuguro." "FUGURO" is a remake that recreates this traditional custom. The material is kimono fabric with auspicious patterns, carefully selected from thousands of pieces slumbering in closets. Each piece is meticulously crafted by hand, imbuing it with the wish for the recipient's happiness. We deliver a unique beauty that brings you happiness, by sewing the spirit of 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. <Auspicious Patterns: Symbols of Good Fortune> Auspicious patterns used as "symbols of good fortune" connect us to the profound depth of Japanese culture inherited from ancient times. <Fan Pattern> "Success and Advancement," "Improvement in Skills." The fan, with its expanding shape, is a symbol of good fortune. It is also called "Suehiro" (spreading prosperity) and is a familiar auspicious pattern. <Kanoko Pattern> "Prosperity of Descendants." <A Japanese Gift> As it is made from kimono fabric, a symbol of Japanese culture, it is also used as a souvenir for overseas visitors and as a gift for foreign customers. It is compact and convenient to carry. An explanatory booklet with both Japanese and English text is included. <Versatile Uses> Use it as a bag-in-bag, or as a small pouch for keys and supplements. Fill it with snacks for your office break time. Decorate your living room as an interior accent. It's fun to think of ways to use it. It can be enjoyed for various purposes depending on the user's ideas. It is also reversible. <The Joy of Gazing and Collecting> The kimono fabric with its auspicious patterns is an item that brings a sense of happiness just by gazing at it. By collecting your favorite pieces, you can enjoy creating your own personal gallery.
