The kumade is a bamboo rake, sold at year-end fairs and hung in shops to rake in good business — the most direct lucky charm Japan has.
Set on metallic pink with a beautiful sheen, the motif is a jacquard-woven tag with real dimension to it, set into the middle of the pouch as the piece everything else is arranged around. The body is quilted in a soft cloud pattern, so it is as pleasant to hold as it is to look at.
Small enough not to crowd a bag, deep enough for cosmetics and small things. Japanese, playful, and easy to give away as a lucky charm.
