Mizuhiki Coin Purse in Gold Beige: Connecting Money and Relationships

Let's use money and wallets with care, and foster richer connections! This is a coin purse in a gold beige color, beautifully finished with the "Awaji-musubi" knot from Japan's traditional Mizuhiki craft. The "Awaji-musubi" knot holds auspicious meanings, such as "tying relationships," "sealing and warding off evil," and "longevity." Its natural and reassuring beige color is perfect for the sophisticated woman who is both graceful and composed. Use it for your daily shopping, as a companion on celebratory days, or with a wish for increased financial fortune. It also makes a wonderful gift for cherished family members or close friends. ◆ Beautiful Mizuhiki Craftsmanship to Connect Money and Relationships On the surface of the wallet, the auspicious "Awaji-musubi" Mizuhiki knot is meticulously hand-tied in 14 rows and 6 columns, totaling 84 knots, with a wish for "improved financial fortune" to connect money and relationships. The "Awaji-musubi" knot, once tied, is difficult to undo, symbolizing sealing and warding off evil. It is also said to strengthen bonds when pulled from both ends, and has been widely used for celebrations. The matte, subdued colored Mizuhiki has a smooth texture due to the rayon thread wound around its surface. In contrast, the lustrous and elegant Mizuhiki has a slightly rough feel because the gold and silver threads are wound with wider spacing. Mizuhiki cords, originally made in the same way as the paper twists used to tie topknots, are now machine-made and are much more durable than they appear. The flat Mizuhiki craft, with its connected Awaji-musubi knots, is about 1-2mm thick. The thread covering the surface of the cord gives it a substantial, thick fabric-like feel. ◆ Money Returns!? Stylish Straight Coin Purse The term "gamaguchi" (coin purse) is said to originate from its resemblance to the mouth of a toad (gamagaeru), which opens wide. The association with "kaeru" (to return) leads to auspicious interpretations like "luck returns," "money returns," and "returning safely," making gamaguchi wallets considered lucky. To use it, stand the clasp upright and open it wide. ◆ Easy to Use! Handcrafted Interior by a Seamstress The interior of the wallet is lovingly handcrafted by a skilled seamstress.

[FAQ] Q: Can I use an IC card by tapping it while it's in the wallet? A: Based on our tests, it can be used without issues. Q: Since Mizuhiki is made of paper, won't it fall apart quickly? A: We use Mizuhiki where thread is wound around a paper twist. With repeated strong friction, the surface fibers may fray, revealing the inner paper twist. We anticipate a usage cycle of approximately 3 years, which is the average replacement cycle for wallets. Careful use will extend its lifespan. While this is our first wallet product, other Mizuhiki products have demonstrated durability for over 3 years. Q: How should I clean the Mizuhiki if it gets dirty? A: Lightly wipe the soiled area with a damp cloth and allow it to dry thoroughly. A commercial water-repellent spray has been applied to the Mizuhiki for stain prevention, but its effectiveness will gradually diminish. Q: How should I clean the interior if it gets dirty? A: Wipe the soiled area with a diluted neutral detergent solution and allow it to dry thoroughly. Avoid using solvents such as benzine or alcohol. Q: Is there a warranty period? A: We offer a one-year warranty against damage. In case of initial defects, we will provide replacements or other appropriate measures free of charge.
