Hello.
I'm staff member Tagawa.
How are you all doing as the plum blossoms change color and we gradually feel the arrival of spring?
This time, we will introduce a new bag made using "Shosoin-re" umbrella fabric, which can be used in both rain and shine.
The "Shosoin-re" fabric is made from an elegant, textured cotton fabric that reproduces the oldest pattern in Japan, which is housed in the Shosoin Repository of Todaiji Temple, using Nishijin weaving.
[Product: shousouin508]
The "Shosoin-re" series has been well received as umbrellas to match with kimonos, but we have also received many requests from customers to create a bag made from the same fabric, so this time we have created a bag (handbag) using the umbrella fabric.
We have S and M sizes available, so please use whichever suits your needs.
Small size
This mini bag is made from Shosoin-ori cotton fabric that has been treated to be waterproof (water-repellent and water-resistant) and UV-resistant, so it is durable, water-resistant, and stain-resistant while retaining its texture, making it an extremely convenient bag.
It's not too big or too small, so it's a perfect size to use as a bag-in-bag, an eco-bag, or for small shopping trips.
Please see the "Shosoin-tori Bag S Size" page here

Medium size
This bag is also durable, water-resistant, and stain-resistant, making it extremely easy to use.
It is large enough to fit an A4 clear file and has an inner pocket, so you can use it as a bag when you go out or as a sub-bag.
The handle can also be hung from the shoulder, which is very convenient.

The Shosoin-ori bags are currently on sale at the Higashi-Nihonbashi shop and the Rakuten market store.
You can also see the actual product at the Higashi-Nihonbashi shop.
Please feel free to pick it up and enjoy the actual texture and size.
We are taking infection control measures and look forward to seeing you all.
