This is a Bunkogawa leather glasses case.

Bunkogawa leatherwork originated from the leather crafts of Banshu Himeji, which then traveled to Edo and developed uniquely. It is made through a laborious and time-consuming process of embossing white tanned leather, hand-painting each stroke, and then applying an antique finish with lacquer and makomo powder. Only one long-established workshop, founded in the early Taisho era and located in Sumida Ward, continues to preserve the traditional techniques and the name Bunkogawa. This easy-to-use, large-sized glasses case features a three-sided zipper opening. The opening is angled for easy handling and has a trapezoidal shape. The zipper pull is a ribbon made of the same material. The interior is lined with quilted polyester suede for a soft feel, with an additional sponge material layer underneath for cushioning. This allows for safe storage of delicate frameless glasses.
A firm core material is used to ensure durability against external impacts.
