A Komebukuro (Kome= rice Fukuro = bag, the "b" is the result of the compound) is a bag used for offering rice to a temple during a Buddhist festival. To present something of personal value, while not being too luxurious, the cloth was combined in a decorative way and the fabric was carefully selected from scraps of material the maker valued. Store your rice for the mice with your unique vintage Japanese bag. Very special.
