This gorgeous 4 pocket, finely crafted hand held carrying case, is so exquisitely polished that it shines. This is not an imitation, it is not a knockoff of any sort, it is exactly the same type of bag you can get here in Japan, featuring: a metal lock with key to keep everything safely inside, two front buckle straps, to secure it down during transport, a large accordion open-pocket used for carrying books, a second medium-sized open-pocket with two velcro straps for securing items into it, a third zippered pocket for smaller items, and a "hidden" fourth zippered pocket for those "secret" items. The handle is made of a sturdy cushioned plastic, and the lid/cover to the whole case snaps open to stay up to allow access or hangs freely. Measuring 38.5 x 29 x 7.5 cm (15 x 12 x 2.75 inches), this bag is unlike any other that you will find. It's rare and difficult to get outside of Japan. A quality product you are not going to want to miss. Be the envy of all your friends. Great for cosplayers and Japanophiles. Be the envy of all your friends. Great for cosplayers and Japanophiles.
