Description

A lively dance among the flowers

Part of the imaginative collaboration between Japanese poet–illustrator moritaMiW and textile maker Kusubashi Monori, this zip pouch captures a moment of whimsy and motion—where a mantis sways on garden blooms as if caught mid-conversation.

Made from woven cotton jacquard, the pouch features rich texture, an embroidered mantis, and MiW’s printed signature. Inside, a contrasting satin lining adds a pop of unexpected color. Its softly rounded shape feels organic in the hand—so you can tuck away essentials with ease while carrying a little story wherever you go.

This design pairs with MiW’s poem “Flowers and Mantis,” a playful reflection on nature’s quiet humor and movement.

“Flowers and Mantis”On the flowers in the garden flower bed,The praying mantis dances gracefully.As I gazed at them, they soon got intothe mood and started cheering loudly, and even louder,yuraralaralara. I also startedwhistling hiyu-hyohyohyo ♪ The flowers wereblown by the wind and fluttered softly.I’m sure the mantis will start telling me about it soon.“This is just a threat.” Then I would argue back.“Huh? You’re swaying happilyon those pretty flowers and then threatening me?”
