菊勇 ~Kiyu~ Nishijin-textile Bag

A kiss-lock bag made from Nishijin-ori obi fabric.

The design features Bishamon Kikkō (Bishamon tortoiseshell pattern) and chrysanthemums in black, vermillion, and gold.

With its minimal color palette, the bag has a sleek, stylish, and modern look. The combination of the geometric Bishamon Kikkō pattern and the graceful curves of chrysanthemums creates a harmonious rhythm in the design.

Symbolism of the Bishamon Kikkō Pattern

The hexagonal kikkō (tortoiseshell) pattern symbolizes longevity, health, and protection against evil.
Additionally, Bishamon refers to Bishamonten, the deity of wealth and prosperity, making this a highly auspicious and lucky motif.
