This elegant Japanese wallet is crafted from Iyo Kasuri (伊予かすり) fabric, a traditional textile from Ehime Prefecture, known for its bold geometric ikat patterns. The deep red and black design is characteristic of Iyo Kasuri, which originated in the late Edo period and is celebrated for its hand-dyed, resist-woven technique that creates distinctive, slightly blurred motifs.
