Kinchaku is a traditional Japanese drawstring bag, used like a handbag for carrying around personal possessions; smaller ones are usually used to carry loose coinage, cosmetics, lucky charms, hand warmer, etc.
Kinchaku was traditionally used when wearing a kimono or yukata, and was sometimes hung from the obi. Nowadays people also put kinchaku in their purse to carry items such as their cellphone, some cosmetics, or even their lunch.
