This radiating form recalls \u003cem\u003ekiku\u003c\/em\u003e, the chrysanthemum brought to Japan from China in the Nara period and celebrated in Heian court poetry until Emperor Go-Toba adopted it as his own emblem, so tied to the throne that a sixteen-petaled kiku still marks the Imperial Seal of Japan today. Set here against midnight silk rather than the crest's usual gold, that same flower once reserved for emperors opens quietly across the weave, carrying a small trace of imperial elegance into everyday hands. \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: 12.5\" x 4\" x 6.5\" x 6\"\u003c\/strong\u003e (Length x Width x Height x Handle)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eObi Bag \u003c\/strong\u003eblends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern everyday functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne of a Kind \/ Upcycled Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach bag is truly one of a kind.
