Rendered as a full, radiating roundel rather than a single spray, this recalls \u003cem\u003ekiku no maru\u003c\/em\u003e, a heraldic treatment of the chrysanthemum, or \u003cem\u003ekiku\u003c\/em\u003e, which arrived in Japan from China during the Nara period and rose to such prominence at court that a sixteen-petaled version still forms the Japanese Imperial Seal; because the flower blooms long into autumn, after most others have faded, it has carried the meaning of longevity for centuries. Set here in fresh green rather than autumn tones, this radiating chrysanthemum carries its old wish for a long life into a bag made for everyday wear. \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center; color: #B8AEA2; font-size: 13px; letter-spacing: 4px; margin: 24px 0;\"\u003e ✦ ✦ ✦ \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize: 11\" x 4\" x 8\" x 4.5\"\u003c\/strong\u003e (Length x Width x Height x Handle)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eObi Bag \u003c\/strong\u003eblends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern everyday functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne of a Kind \/ Upcycled Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach bag is truly one of a kind.
