I purchased this at a craft fair called "Artisan Techniques" at the Tobu Department Store. I've used it briefly about twice, and it's in the same condition as when I bought it, with no stains. It's lovely, but I don't have many opportunities to use it, so I'm putting it up for sale. I think it would be beautiful to carry with a kimono. The artisan who assisted me said that the color will change to a beautiful amber the more you use it, increasing its presence, and that it's a lifetime piece that you can enjoy the aging process of. At that time, they also mentioned that you can polish the surface with a scrubbing brush to bring out the shine, and they gave me the scrubbing brush in the last photo, so I'll include it as a set. The purchase price was 64,800 yen. Grapevine Basket Bag Attached inner lining Square type, wide Length: 28 cm Width (gusset): approx. 11 cm Height: 21 cm
