This listing is for a vintage Japanese kinchaku (drawstring) purse. These are a prized accessory for a kimono-clad woman even today. They're typically made with kimono fabric, have a basket base, and tend to be used for casual, rather than formal, occasions.

The bottom is a rectangular, woven bamboo basket and the top is a fun red crepe with a pattern of kimono-clad kokeshi (traditional Japanese dolls) and maple leaf motifs. Fabric might be rayon, might be silk, but is lovely in either case.

Comes in the original box. Red cording is threaded through the sewn loops at the top to cinch the bag closed.

Lined. Excellent condition.
