Exquisite & Ethereal Gift *New Green / Coin Purse S Kyoto Artisan [Premium Kimono Tsumugi] Clasp Pouch in Mint Green

This trip to Kyoto brought encounters with many wonderful people and things. It was a chance to rediscover the joy of living well and to witness the ancient capital's deep respect for and creative approach to traditional culture and craftsmanship. What captivated me most were the *goshuin-cho* bags made by a kimono artisan himself. Mr. Nakamura, a craftsman with a gentle demeanor and elegant presence, has retired from the world of kimono making. However, he continues to create *goshuin-cho* bags using the kimono fabrics he has loved his entire life. ◾️【Premium Kimono Tsumugi Series】 The spirit of lifelong dedication to craftsmanship is evident in every detail and material selection. This piece features Kyoto's exquisite 'Kanoko Shibori' tie-dyeing technique. Named for its resemblance to a fawn's spots, its hand-dyeing process is intricate and refined, resulting in truly unique colors and patterns. Consequently, this style is exceptionally rare, making each piece a treasure to be cherished as a "once-in-a-lifetime" encounter. Mr. Nakamura's *goshuin-cho* bags stand leagues apart from those made with synthetic fibers or cotton found elsewhere. Even accessories, he believes, should be as refined as fine jewelry. He shares, "Use it gently, and the texture will become even softer over time." It's clear that the people of Kyoto truly appreciate fine things! It's no wonder they take such pride in their city. We are grateful that Mr. Nakamura agreed to specially craft a batch for us. I must admit, compared to the variety of *goshuin-cho* bags out there, the initial price might seem a bit high. At first, I was drawn to its appearance, not paying much mind to the premium kimono fabric or the intricate clasp, assuming it was standard. But after bringing it home and using it, I understood. With every opening and closing, I can't help but marvel; the more I look, the more I love it. Anyone who receives one will understand what an art-piece quality *goshuin-cho* bag is. It will undoubtedly inspire you to collect more! ------------------------ Material: 100% Silk (Hand-dyed Kanoko Shibori) Crafted: Custom handmade by a Kyoto artisan Specifications (clasp excluded): The Premium Kimono Tsumugi Series comes in three sizes: This is the S size, W10 x H8cm.
