This listing is for a vintage Japanese folded wallet or document holder.

Handcrafted in Okinawa, this envelop-style wallet radiates the joyful color and artistry of Japan's southern islands. The blue fabric bursts with hand-stenciled floral and leaf motifs in vivid hues of coral, lilac, and gold, representing nature's abundance and good fortune. 

The dye style is the traditional bingata style - highly prized these days as this traditional technique is unique from Okinawa - with soft shading and traditional colors.  Inside is a pale blue lining and practical pockets. Comes with the original box and tag.

There is some blemishes at the edge of the inside lining that does not show through.

Translation of the box: "Artistic Craft for Enjoyment", Charm or Talisman Holder", "Ryukyu Bingata (traditional Okinawan stencil-dyed textile)", "Kamekome Trading Co."

7.25" x 4" x .25"
