This listing is for a vintage Japanese kinchaku drawstring bag.

Rich in texture and cultural meaning, this vintage bag features the elegant kai-awase motif of decorative shells inspired by the shell-matching game that symbolized harmony and destined unions.

The brocade fabric glows in soft coral, ivory, and gold, with each shell adorned in delicate blossoms representing joy and renewal. A vivid red drawstring cord adds a bright traditional accent, while the square bottom ensures the bag keeps its form. 

5" x 5" x 5"
