Kimono Silk Drawstring Pouch Happiness-Inviting FUGURO Premium Fan Pattern Silk

< A Unique Beauty That Brings You Happiness > In the past, when the people of Watari in Miyagi Prefecture gave gifts, they would place them in a "bag" made from leftover scraps of old kimonos. For instance, it might have been a 1.8-liter bottle of rice, given as a celebration or a thank-you gift. It didn't have a fixed name, and "fukuro" (bag) was pronounced "fuguro" as it became colloquial. "FUGURO" is a recreation of this traditional custom, remade into a modern item. The materials are chosen from thousands of kimono fabrics featuring auspicious patterns, carefully selected from those resting in tansu chests. Each piece is meticulously crafted with careful handwork, imbuing it with a wish for the happiness of the person who holds it.
