I believe I purchased this from the online store of jokogumo in either KOHORO or Kagurazaka. I've forgotten if it was from a specific artist, but it was carefully crafted by hand in the Tohoku region. I used it once with a yukata and have kept it carefully stored since then. It cost around 30,000 yen. The round, movable handle allows you to gather the center and grip it easily, and you can also carry it by putting your arm through it. You can use a *azuma-bukuro* or *furoshiki* inside to conceal the contents and for security, and enjoy coordinating with the colors. I think it would also be easy to match with Western-style clothing due to its design. .........
