"KYO-YUZEN"

I write about some craft goods.
It is related to "Kyoto",not to"Tokyo"

Maybe you don't know "Kyo-yuzen".
"Kyo"means Kyoto.
"Yuzen" is a word that shows the Ayasama dye.

It to be handwriting coming originally and coloring of the person.
"kata-yuzen" with a paper pattern increased after the Meiji era.
It is one of a Japanese original dye.

So, the purse made from the material of "Kyo-yuzen" is this.
This purse is very light.
It is sold in the souvenir shop in Kyoto ,too.

Maybe you can find it in Ebay,now.
