Spirited Away Bunkoya Ozeki Card Case
Studio Ghibli anime character theme traditional Tokyo craft accessory
Even five years ago, finding in any shop in Tokyo something like the Spirited Away Bunkoya Ozeki Card Case would be almost impossible: a wallet without a space for bills would be unthinkable. But with credit cards becoming more popular now, even the Japanese have started entertaining the idea that they might leave the house only carrying cards. Especially if they are carrying them in a case as beautiful as this and decorated with two beloved anime images: No-Face and a Susuwatari soot sprite from Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away!
That makes the 139 x 75 x 5 mm (5.5 x 3 x 0.2") Spirited Away Bunkoya Ozeki Card Case even more special, though, is the technique used to create these images and the decorative patterns on its front: going back to the late Edo period (1600-1868) and called bunko leather, this craft involves pressing the leather to make the design stand out in relief. Even today, these designs are done one by one by hand, making this small case (which also has a zippered pocket for your coins or even the occasional folded bill) a true work of art!
