Kago/Kinchaku Bag

Kinchaku (巾着) is a traditional Japanese drawstring bag, used like a handbag for carrying around personal possessions; smaller ones are usually used to carry loose coinage, cosmetics, lucky charms, hand warmers and other small items. Larger versions can be used to carry bento (packed lunchboxes) and utensils, as well as other larger possessions. The bags traditionally carried by maiko and geisha are a variant on kinchaku, and are called kago (篭) (literally ‘basket’) after their woven basket base, much like the one these bags have.

Basket Dimensions: approx. 5″ x 2″ x 1.5″
