The "Shiawase no Mon'yō" (Patterns of Happiness) series is an original design created in collaboration with textile designers, focusing on the "meaning of wishing for happiness" inherent in traditional Japanese patterns.

One of the series, the pine tree motif, is a pattern that has been regarded as a symbol of "longevity and eternal youth" because it maintains green leaves throughout the year and withstands harsh cold weather.

The auspicious motifs have been modernized to blend seamlessly with contemporary lifestyles.

✔ Dedicated craftsmanship: Each piece is carefully dyed at a dyeing factory in Kyoto.
✔ Modern traditional patterns: Three types of patterns available in two colors each, offering a variety of choices.
✔ High durability: Made from thick, tightly woven canvas (No. 11), ensuring strength and longevity.
✔ Perfect for a special gift: "Shiawase no Mon'yō" conveys heartfelt wishes through its design.

The coin purse measures approximately 20cm (7.87 inches) in height, 16cm (6.29 inches) in width, and has a gusset of 2.5cm (0.98 inches). It is the perfect size to hold a smartphone or a mini wallet, ideal for quick outings.

The opening opens widely, making it easy to see the contents inside and allowing for smooth retrieval of items even when in a hurry.

The shoulder strap is adjustable in length, suitable for a wide range of users from petite women to taller women. It is removable, so it can also be used as a pouch or small accessory case.

It is suitable not only for everyday use such as walks and shopping but also as a secondary bag for travel, for matching with yukata or kimono (traditional Japanese clothing), or for special outings.

Add a touch of Japanese tradition to your daily outings with this charming accessory.

**Craftsmanship Highlighting the Charm of Hand-Dyeing**

The coin purse features Fuwa Market’s original textile design. It is made from traditional canvas fabric from the domestic brand "Fujikinbai," woven carefully one piece at a time using a rare shuttle loom.

Each piece of this high-quality canvas is hand-dyed by artisans at a dyeing factory in Kyoto.

The use of traditional techniques results in deep, rich colors and a unique texture that is highly attractive.

Close-up images of the patterns reveal delicate color overlaps characteristic of hand-dyeing. Subtle gradations and bleeding enhance the handcrafted feel, creating a one-of-a-kind beauty.

Each dyeing process is performed with care, producing depth and warmth that cannot be achieved with simple printing.

The finishing touches emphasize Japanese aesthetic beauty, with attention to detail that allows you to appreciate the skill of artisans and the meaning behind traditional patterns every time you use it.

Experience the warmth and texture created by skilled craftsmanship firsthand.

**The Wishes and Prayers Embedded in the Pine Tree Pattern**

The pine tree is a symbol of prosperity.

It is a plant that Japanese people have revered as a sacred symbol for a long time.

Its evergreen leaves during the cold winter symbolize "longevity and eternal youth," and the fact that male and female flowers bloom on the same plant has been associated with wishes for "prosperity of descendants."

Since the Edo period, it has been regarded as a plant inhabited by gods, depicted on Noh stage wooden panels, and used to make kadomatsu (pine decorations) to welcome the New Year’s deity. It has become an essential part of both entertainment and daily life.

The vigorous vitality and beauty of the pine tree continue to be loved by many people today.

The color options include a calming green tone, which is associated with healing, and a warm orange tone.

While subdued, these colors are distinctive and make excellent items to brighten everyday life. The modern Japanese design also pairs well with yukata or kimono (traditional Japanese attire).

*Please note that since large fabric pieces are cut to produce each item, there may be individual differences in pattern placement.*
