Japanese Tamago-gata Bag Purse Sakura Kiku Kimono Chirimen Silk Kyoto

This is a super unique bag, made of chirimen silk in the shape of a 3-D egg- the sides fold out and it is a super unique kinchaku (sans the drawstring). It has a seasonal floral pattern. It has a light gold pattern on some of the flowers. It is lined in a burnt orange fabric and has a slip in pocket on the front. It has a covered button closure. It measures 4" x 3.5" x 8.5". The pattern may vary slightly on the purse you receive as no two cuts of fabric are the same. Every bag is unique. When last in Kyoto a shop was closing not too far from Nishiki market. The person who made the purses has long retired and they were selling off what was left. I picked up several purses (more than 50 actually- oops) because the craftmanship was incredible (check out my shop if you want to see more!). The pictures don't do it justice. I brought back lots of items from Japan on my last trip (two checked bags each x 3 people... it was something) and I have lots more kimonos, kanzashi, obis, and purses/bags that I'll be listing as I get to them. Feel free to let me know what you are looking for and I'm happy to help if I can.
