This pine, \u003cem\u003ematsu\u003c\/em\u003e, is one of the most celebrated auspicious motifs in Japanese design: as an evergreen that holds its color through winter, it has long stood for resilience and longevity, and because \"matsu\" is pronounced the same as the verb \"to wait,\" the tree also carries the older meaning of waiting for the gods to descend, which is why pine is placed at doorways in the New Year's \u003cem\u003ekadomatsu\u003c\/em\u003e believed to invite good fortune. Cast entirely in warm gold rather than green, this enduring pine carries that old wish for a long and fortunate life into a bag meant to be carried for years to come. \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 2.5\" x 8\" x 6.5\"\u003c\/strong\u003e (Length x Width x Height x Handle)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKimono Obi Convertible Bag\u003c\/strong\u003e blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern versatility, featuring both a top handle and an adjustable, detachable shoulder strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne of a Kind \/ Upcycled Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach bag is truly one of a kind.
