During this trip to Kyoto, I met many wonderful people and things.
In addition to allowing me to re-experience the taste of a good life, I also saw the importance and creation of traditional culture and craftsmanship in the ancient city. Among them, the one that caught my eye the most was the kiss lock bag made by the kimono master. Mr. Nakamura, who is shy and personable, has retired from the ranks of kimono craftsmen, but he still makes kiss lock bag designed with the kimono fabric he has loved throughout his life.
【Premium Kimono Tsumugi Series】
The lifelong craftsmanship is fully demonstrated in the details and material selection. This one is made from the rare "Oshima Tsumugi". This kind of kimono fabric from Oshima Anmi, Japan, is first dyed with mineral mud and then woven into fabric. The workmanship is complicated and requires twenty to thirty procedures. Today, only a few craftsmen inherit the production, so it becomes increasingly rare. In Japan, it is used in the production of high-end kimonos.

The characteristic of "Oshima Tsumugi" is the restrained and charming low-saturated pattern, which is very eye-catching and more suitable for modern daily wear. It is retro and fashionable in one bag. It is not like the common fabric bag patterns on the market that are too eye-catching and gorgeous, and it does not need to be worn. Worry about collision. Even for small bag accessories, if they are made of high-quality materials, you can get a glimpse of their style. The teacher also reminded, "Please use it gently, the touch will become softer over time."

All I can say is that people in Kyoto really use good things! No wonder Kyoto people are proud of themselves too. Thanks to the teacher for his approval and specially made a batch for us. I have to be honest, compared with all kinds of kiss lock bag out there, this kind of pricing seems unfriendly at first sight. At first, I was only attracted by its appearance and didn’t pay much attention to the high-end kimono fabrics. I took it for granted that the gold and mirrors were so carefully chosen. But after I brought it back and actually used it, I realized the truth behind it. Every time I open and close it, I can't help but admire it from the bottom of my heart. The more I look at it, the more I love it. If you have the opportunity to receive it from me, you will understand what a work of art-level kiss lock bag is, and it will definitely make you want to collect it again and again!
