Vintage Japanese Hand Tooled Geisha Wisteria Mid Century Handmade Leather Wallet

Vintage Japanese Hand-Tooled Leather Wallet Geisha & Wisteria Mid-Century Hand Painted Beautiful vintage Japanese hand-tooled and painted leather wallet featuring a traditional geisha in a green kimono holding a chrysanthemum on one side, and a wisteria vine with a perched bird on the other. The leather is deeply embossed and hand-painted in rich colors, giving the artwork a three-dimensional effect. The interior flap is decorated with embossed Japanese folding fans, and is lined with cloth.
