A Kinchaku 巾着 is a traditional Japanese drawstring bag or pouch closed by pulling cords tight at the top. This one-of-a-kind Kinchaku is made from a combination of Kasuri Kimonos. The patterns are created from a hand weaving process called Kasuri 絣. Kasuri is a term for textiles that have been woven with threads that are dyed specifically to create patterns in the fabric as they come together in the weaving process. It requires a tremendous amount of planning as threads have to be pre-painted exactly to achieve the final pattern. It’s characterized by slightly blurred or brushed appearance, the beautiful mark of imperfections in hand-weaving
