It not only allowed me to rediscover the joy of living mindfully but also showcased the ancient capital's deep respect for and innovation in traditional culture and craftsmanship. What captivated me at first sight were the coin purses crafted by a kimono artisan. Mr. Nakamura, a gentle and distinguished gentleman, has retired from his career as a kimono artisan but continues to create coin purses using the kimono fabrics he has cherished throughout his life. 【Premium Kimono Tsumugi Series】 The dedication of a lifetime's craftsmanship is evident in every detail and material selection. This piece features Kyoto's exquisite 'Kanoko Shibori' tie-dye technique. Named for its resemblance to a fawn's spots, its unique textured feel is incredibly pleasing to the touch. The handmade dyeing process is exceptionally intricate and refined, resulting in one-of-a-kind patterns and colors, making this style exceptionally rare and a treasure to be cherished as a "once-in-a-lifetime" find. Mr. Nakamura's pure silk coin purses stand leagues apart from the synthetic fibers or cotton ones found elsewhere. Even small accessories for daily use should be of a quality that withstands scrutiny like fine jewelry. He shared, "Use it gently, and the texture will become even softer over time." It's clear that people in Kyoto truly appreciate fine quality! No wonder they take such pride in their city. We are grateful to Mr. Nakamura for agreeing to specially craft a batch for us. I must admit, compared to the myriad of coin purses available, the initial price might seem a bit steep. At first, I was drawn solely by its appearance, not paying much mind to the premium kimono fabric or the exquisite clasp, taking it for granted. However, after receiving and using it, I truly understood its value. With every opening and closing, I can't help but marvel, growing more fond of it with each glance. If you have the chance to own one, you'll understand what an art-level coin purse truly is, and you'll undoubtedly want to collect them all! ------------------------ Material: 100% Pure Silk (Hand-dyed Kanoko Shibori) Crafted by: Kyoto Artisan Custom Order Dimensions (excluding clasp): The Premium Kimono Tsumugi Series comes in three sizes; this is the R size: W15 x H15.5cm The R Round Pouch is suitable for: Small sanitary pads, tissues, makeup essentials, keys, glasses, etc. It's a compact and versatile pouch for touch-ups on the go. ------------------------ If you find a style you love, please act quickly.
