The Kimono Wallet is actually a Fukusabasami 袱紗挟み. It is a rectangular wallet shaped like a traditional Japanese envelope with a flap closure. It is used to carry personal items such a fan, kaishi paper and more to a Japanese tea ceremony when dressed in a kimono. Though we might not be dressed in kimonos or attend tea ceremonies, the Kimono wallet is a lovely, traditionally-designed Japanese pouch that can be used as a small wallet or clutch. For the upcoming lunar new year festivities, you can even use it to keep up to 25 red packets.
