Silk Kimono Fabric Mask & Drawstring Bag (FUGURO) Gift Set Plum Blossom Pattern

*Kimono Fabric Mask* This etiquette mask, which has become a popular product featured in local media, is now available in silk kimono fabric at our customers' request. We use a material identification process via infrared spectroscopy with equipment from the Miyagi Prefectural Industrial Technology Center to confirm the fabrics we use are silk. *Ozone and UV Sterilization* Using high-quality kimono fabrics, we sterilize them with ozone and UV light before delivering them in a sealed package. *We use a sterilizing cabinet specifically for masks. Ozone and UV sterilization kill viruses and bacteria and break down odor components. Sterilizing cabinet manufacturer: Ishida Chuki Co., Ltd. Sterilizing cabinet model: The MCU-12 model only has a UV sterilization function, so we had an ozone sterilization option added to this unit. *High-Quality Japanese Fabric* The inner fabric is a high-quality, Japanese-made material specifically for masks. It is antibacterial and deodorizing, dries quickly when you sweat, and feels smooth against the skin. *Carefully Stitched to Hold Its Shape* The earloop channel is a reversible design without a fold-over, which reduces bumps that can touch the skin. This design is also well-received for being resistant to losing its shape after washing. *Soft to the Touch from the Very First Use* The fabric is pre-washed before crafting, so it feels soft from the moment you open the package. Enjoy a comfortable, enveloping sensation. We recommend hand-washing. If using a washing machine, please place it in a laundry net and use a delicate cycle. Handmade masks do not completely prevent the transmission of diseases or the onset of allergies. *A One-of-a-Kind Gift* This beautiful, nostalgic kimono fabric item conveys your appreciation to your loved ones. In the past, people living in Watari, Miyagi Prefecture, would give gifts wrapped in "fuguro," or small bags made from leftover kimono fabric. For example, they might use it to package a large portion of rice as a congratulatory gift or a thank-you present. This bag had no formal name and was simply called "fuguro" (a softened pronunciation of the Japanese word for "bag," fukuro). "FUGURO" recreates this old custom through upcycling. The material is an auspicious kimono fabric carefully selected from thousands of pieces that have been sleeping in chests. We carefully craft each piece by hand, with every stitch carrying a wish for the owner's happiness. This is a graceful culture of gift-giving, where gratitude is sewn into the product. We deliver a one-of-a-kind beauty that brings you happiness. We use two colors of thread to match the outer and inner fabrics. Enjoy the beautiful stitching that is pleasing to the eye. *A "Drawstring Bag" is a lucky charm for accumulating wealth* The drawstring bag has been used as a purse or a valuable-items pouch since ancient times. It is also one of the seven ornaments of the Sendai Tanabata Festival. When the string is tied tightly, it symbolizes that money will not escape, making it a symbol of "frugality," "savings," and "wealth." *Auspicious Patterns: Symbols of Happiness* Auspicious patterns are symbols of good fortune and happiness that have been used since ancient times. Understanding the meaning of these Japanese patterns also allows you to experience the depth of Japanese culture passed down through generations. ＜Plum Blossom Pattern＞ “Academic Success,” “Good Luck with Exams,” “Safe Childbirth” It is believed that the spirit of Tenjin, the god of learning, resides within the plum blossom’s seed. ＜Comes with a gift package ready for gifting＞ Product Details Kimono Etiquette Mask [Size] Adult size, approx. 14cm (height) x 21cm (width) [Material] Mask: Kimono fabric (silk), Japanese-made fabric for masks / Polyester, Cool-to-the-touch material, Antibacterial, Deodorizing, Sweat-absorbing, Quick-drying Earloop: 3mm round rubber for masks *The earloop is lightly tied, so please adjust it to a comfortable size before use.
