Vintage envelope pouches set
Vintage item
Details & Origin
I believe these envelopes were handmade at home by someone. They are crafted with synthetic Japanese fabrics, resembling the contemporary Nishijin fabrics I sometimes buy myself.
The outer fabric represents plum trees in bloom and waves, resembling Rimpa artist Otaga Korin's famous painting (which you can see at the bottom of this page). The inner fabric represents small sakura blossoms. They both close with a magic tape.
Condition
Used, as good as new. Excellent condition, no noticeable damage.
Dimension
big pouch: 21 x 15 cm / 8.1 x 5.9 inches
small pouch: 15 x 11 cm / 5.9 x 4.3 inches
The small pouch easily fits in the larger one. They are sold together and can’t be purchased separately.
Sourced in Kyoto, Japan.
