Kimono Silk Pouch Happiness-Inviting FUGURO Premium 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 scraps of old kimonos. For example, it might have been a 1.8-liter 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 wardrobes. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, imbuing it with the wish for the happiness of the person who receives it. We deliver a unique beauty that brings you happiness, by sewing the spirit of gratitude and the elegant custom of wrapping and gifting precious items into our products. We use two colors of thread, matching the colors of the outer and inner fabrics. Please enjoy the beautiful stitching that is pleasing to everyone's eyes. <A Symbol of Happiness: Auspicious Patterns> Auspicious patterns used as "symbols of happiness" connect us to the profound depth of Japanese culture inherited from ancient times. <Peony Pattern>: "Prosperity of descendants," "Freedom from illness," "Prayer for beauty," "Longevity" <Cherry Blossom Pattern>: "Abundant harvest," "Prayer for beauty," "Wealth and prosperity." Cherry blossoms were believed to house the god of rice, and the year's harvest was predicted by the blooming status. <Chrysanthemum Pattern>: "Longevity," "Prayer for rejuvenation," "Prayer for health." Chrysanthemums were believed to have anti-aging properties and were used medicinally. They are considered the king of a hundred herbs and a symbol of longevity. <Japanese Gifts> As the material is kimono fabric, a symbol of Japanese culture, these items are also used as souvenirs for overseas visitors or as gifts for foreign guests. They are compact and convenient to carry. An explanatory card with both Japanese and English text is included. <Versatile Uses> Use it as a bag-in-bag, or as a small pouch for keys or supplements. Fill it with snacks essential for your office refresh break. Decorate your living room as an interior accent. Thinking about how to use it is also a delightful moment. It can be enjoyed for various purposes 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 fabric with its auspicious patterns, which delight the eyes, is an item that brings images of happiness just by gazing at it. By collecting your favorite pieces, you can enjoy creating your own personal gallery.
