Kimono Drawstring Bag, Fan Pattern, Lucky Drawstring Pouch

<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 scraps of old kimonos. For example, it might have been a 1.8-liter bottle 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 materials are kimono fabrics with auspicious patterns, carefully selected from thousands of pieces sleeping in chests. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, with a heartfelt wish for the happiness of the person who receives it. Wrap and present precious items, embodying a refined culture of reciprocation and gratitude. We deliver a unique beauty that brings you happiness. Two colors of thread are used to match the colors of the outer and inner fabrics. Please enjoy the beautiful stitching that is pleasing to the eye. <Fan Pattern> "Success in life," "Improvement in skills" The fan, with its auspicious spreading shape, is called "suehiro" (spreading prosperity) and is a familiar and auspicious pattern. <Japanese Gift> As it is made from kimono fabric, a symbol of Japanese culture, it is also used as a souvenir to take overseas or as a gift for foreign visitors. It is compact and convenient to carry. An explanatory booklet with both Japanese and English text is included. <Various Uses> Use it as a bag-in-bag, or as a small pouch for keys and supplements. Fill it with snacks for your office refresh time. Decorate your living room with it. It's enjoyable to think of various ways to use it. It can be used in many ways depending on the user's ideas. It can also be used as a reversible item. <The Joy of Gazing, The Pleasure of Collecting> The kimono fabrics with auspicious patterns are items that bring a sense of happiness just by looking at them. By collecting your favorite pieces, you can enjoy creating your own personal gallery.

Please understand that the pattern may appear slightly different 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 due to screen settings. If you have any concerns, please contact us or refrain from purchasing. * As the kimono fabrics used are often used and unlabeled, the material cannot always be identified. We 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.
