Kimono Drawstring Bag, Chrysanthemum Pattern, Happiness-Inviting FUGURO Large Size

<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 reproduction and remake of this traditional custom. The material is kimono fabric with auspicious patterns, carefully selected from thousands of pieces sleeping in wardrobes. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted with the wish for the recipient's happiness sewn into it. Wrap and present precious items, embodying a graceful return gift culture and heartfelt gratitude. We deliver a unique beauty that brings you happiness. Two colors of thread are used, matching the colors of the outer and inner fabrics. Please enjoy the beautiful stitching that is pleasing to everyone's eyes. <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. A product description with both Japanese and English is included. <A Symbol of Happiness: Auspicious Patterns> Auspicious patterns are considered "symbols of happiness" and are auspicious.
