The idea of design is modern “雑嚢”(Zatsunou).
雑嚢 is the shoulder bag used around end of Meiji period to Taisho period (about 1912) and also at that time, people wore both kimono and western style clothes as usual outfit. We think it’s the roots of the bag and cut the function to the utmost limit and make it simplest to be suitable for any situation and fashion style.
