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 flat base, and tend to be used for casual, rather than formal, occasions.

This bag has a square solid bottom covered with the same rayon crepe that creates the pouch.  The rippled crepe texture gives a shimmering quality to the colors. The front and back panels feature a floral pattern, and the sides are a solid red, which calls out the red in the floral print.

Dark red cording is threaded through the sewn loops at the top to cinch the bag closed.

Lined. Excellent condition.
