We have added new series of Gamaguchi wallet to our web site. Ten lineups of small size Gamaguchi wallets and three lineups of medium size. The design prints are called Edo Sarasa which emerged in Edo era in Japan some three hundred years ago. Trees, flowers, birds are the motif of Edo Sarasa design and it was originally inspired by India design.
The design is all hand-dyed (called "Tezome" in Japanese) and the dye factory is located in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Although Shinjuku is a very busy shopping zone with three million visitors a day around the station, several traditional factories still exist until now. The dye factories gather around Ochiai district, two stops from Shinjuku station by local train.
Please visit our web site to find more.
Thank you!
