Bringing the tradition of Hina dolls into everyday life: Our wish for the "Kinran Pouch" woven with the craftsmanship of Takahashi, Okayama.

Hold the "Fruits of Tradition" in Your Hand.

Behind it is the **tradition of "Hina Doll manufacturing"** that has been passed down for many years in Takahashi City, Okayama Prefecture.

Kinran (gold brocade) is a fabric that gives the highest rank of formality to doll costumes. We have breathed life into this luxurious textile, which is normally only available during limited seasons, by creating Japanese daily necessities from it. We are interested in not only "preserving" tradition but also making it "functional" in modern life.

Supported by Tradition, the Power of Patterns

The pouch we are introducing features three traditional patterns with historical backing, intricately woven into the fabric.

1. Kikko (Tortoise Shell): Longevity and Strong Protection

This pattern, with its neatly arranged hexagons, is inspired by the tortoise shell, a symbol of longevity. It is also an important pattern used in Hina doll costumes to wish for the long-lasting prosperity of the family.

2. Kiku (Chrysanthemum): Protection from Illness and Noble Guardianship

The chrysanthemum is one of Japan's national flowers and has been popular since ancient times as a medicinal herb for longevity. It is also cherished as a flower to pray for the healthy growth of children during the Hina Festival.

3. Ryusui (Flowing Water): Continuity of Uninterrupted Daily Life

The curves flowing in the background represent the clear flow of water. Water continuously flows, maintaining its purity.

Why "Kinran" now?

In the production of Hina dolls, high precision techniques are required to cut and sew fabric to the millimeter. Because this pouch uses materials and techniques that have cleared these strict quality standards, it possesses a **"sense of substance" and "durability" that can be felt the moment you hold it**.

The concept of "HARUMEKI" is to bring the colorful techniques of life's milestones (special days) into your everyday life.

The "certainty" of traditional crafts, in your bag. This pouch is a small charm that supports you, and an everyday masterpiece filled with the pride of artisans.
