Description
The bi-fold billfold is an item that has many fans due to its smart shape and convenience. Light and supple cowhide is used for the corners and lining, which are prone to fraying. There is one coin purse with an easy-open snap closure and two bill compartments. There are also four card slots, so you can neatly use it with the minimum number of cards required. The small items that become accustomed to your liking over time will shine more brightly as you use them for a longer period of time.

Fuku-neko Kohshi-mon(Design of Good-Luck Cat and Cross Stripes Pattern)
This design is composed of the cross stripes pattern diversely developed in the Edo period (1603~1867AD) in the popular culture like the costume of KABUKI play and UKIYO-E (color print), and a cat arched its back which was widely loved by people in the same era.
The cross stripes made of thick and thin lines are called “OKINA-KOHSHI” (a plaid pattern of old man) depicting a grandfather and a grandchild respectively meaning the prosperity of descendants. The cat is a symbol of good fortune as "FUKU-NEKO" (a good-luck cat) as it protects the crop and the treasure from the rat’s biting and gnawing. The cat is also idolized especially by sailors as the guardian deity for the same reason.
We have woven into the warp-patterned brocade with the design of the linear manner of the checks and the soft figure of the good-luck cat.
