Kimono Silk Pouch Happiness-Bringing FUGURO Premium Crane Pattern Silk

<A unique beauty that brings you happiness> In the past, when the people of Watari, Miyagi Prefecture, gave gifts, they would place them in a "bag" tailored from 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. It had no set name and was called "fuguro," a slurred version of "fukuro" (bag). "FUGURO" recreates and remakes this traditional custom. The materials are selected from thousands of kimono fabrics chosen for their auspicious patterns, which have been sleeping in chests. Each piece is carefully crafted by hand, with heartfelt wishes for the happiness of the person who receives it. Embrace the elegant tradition of returning gifts by wrapping and sending precious items, sewing your gratitude into the product. We deliver a unique beauty that brings you happiness. Beautiful stitching, pleasing to the eye, is created using two colors of thread, matched to the colors of the outer and inner fabrics. <A symbol of good fortune: Auspicious patterns> Auspicious patterns used as "symbols of good fortune" not only signify good luck but also connect us to the profound depth of Japanese culture passed down from ancient times. <Crane Pattern> "Longevity," "Marital Bliss," "Success and Advancement." Cranes have long been considered divine messengers. Cranes, like turtles, are known for their longevity, as the saying goes, "Tsuru wa sennen, kame wa mannen" (A crane lives for a thousand years, a turtle for ten thousand). <Japanese Gifts> As the material is kimono fabric, a symbol of Japanese culture, these items are popular as Japanese souvenirs to take overseas or as gifts for foreign visitors. They are compact and convenient to carry. We include product descriptions in both Japanese and English. <Versatile Uses> Use it as a bag-in-bag, a small pouch for keys or supplements, or to hold snacks for your office break. It can also serve as an interior decoration. The joy of considering its uses is part of the experience. Its versatile applications can be enjoyed depending on the user's creativity. It is also reversible. <The Joy of Gazing and Collecting> The kimono fabrics adorned with auspicious patterns are items that bring images of happiness just by gazing at them. By collecting your favorite pieces, you can enjoy creating your own personal gallery.
