The "Invitation" to the Bag When I awoke from a long slumber, the lens of a smartphone began to photograph me as if I were a model. Front, profile, and even my insides. Carefully sewn and polished by the hands of an old craftsman, imbued with a soul, I shone brighter than anything else when placed on the factory shelf. A few days later, I was wrapped and placed in a box, and along with my companions, I was rocked for several hours in a car, arriving at a special exhibition hall in a department store. I was lined up on the display shelf, catching the eyes of passersby. My companions were welcomed by new owners and taken down from the shelf one after another, but we larger products began to remain. On the afternoon of the day before the exhibition sale's deadline, a customer looked at me from various angles, assessing me, but the next moment, without even looking at the price tag, he said, "I'll take this." He looked surprised when he paid. I was placed in a box and rode the train with him. I was placed on the overhead rack and was intoxicated by the pleasant rocking and the sound of the rails. As soon as we arrived at his house, he said to his family, "I only have the train fare left." My new owner unwrapped me and placed me on his desk in his study, gazing at me for a while. Several days passed without him using me. One day, the house became hectic, and I was forgotten. After that, I was put back in the box and placed in the closet. A new place to work was supposed to be waiting for me, but for some reason, it disappeared. Is it a case of "misfortune may be a blessing in disguise!"? No, I am not a horse, but a cow. A hard leather bag made with care by the hands of a craftsman. There is no way to find a place to work. A long, long time passed, and when I awoke from my slumber, everything had changed. I suddenly became a smartphone model and began to look for a new owner. I was listed on Mercari. I have no deterioration from age and I am shining. If, by chance, I can meet a new owner, I am confident that I can fully demonstrate my abilities. I'm perfect for A4 size. Several thick books can also fit. Writing instruments and smartphones are also OK. Weight is about 1.1kg. I hope someone finds me soon. Thank you for staying with my little story until the end. Please take care of a "bag" that is truly a "bag."
