This bag is pieced of wonderful, hand loomed cotton fabrics--21 pieces in all--and when seen in person, its large size is impressive as is its warmth and human presence. This is a bag that has been used--note the hand-sewn name tag on the piece, shown in detail photos.

Very earthy, very much belonging to old Japan, this is a really exceptionally good bag of this sort, and highly recommended.

Note the wonderful kasuri (ikat) pieces and the overall beauty of the constsruction.
