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 two Sou-Shibori Kimonos. Sou-Shibori 総絞り is a traditional hand tie-dye technique. Each dot is tied by hand before the textile is dipped in dye—then each dot is untied manually. A process that can take several weeks. Because of the enormous amount of labor that goes into Sou-Shibori, it is considered a high end textile.
