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

Soft as spring light, this handcrafted silk wallet is naturally dyed using the traditional and now rare benibana (safflower) method, creating a gentle gradient of blush and cream. The minimalist form and fine weave showcase Japan's reverence for subtle elegance and natural color harmony. Comes with its original paulownia wood box with paper inserts from the Sodehaku-an dye studio.

Partial translation of box and insert: "White and Safflower Dye, Traditional Beauty, Plant Dyeing, and Sodehaku-an (the workshop or artisan studio name)"

7.25" x 3.75" x .25"
