Thank you very much for your continued support of master-piece.
As we move into 2026, a few weeks have already passed—how have you been?
As the new year begins, many of us may be wishing, “This is the year I improve my financial fortune.”
It is said that starting to use a new wallet on an auspicious day can help invite positive financial energy.
Why not welcome a new wallet at the most favorable timing—one that will become your trusted partner throughout 2026?
There Are Many Types of Auspicious Days
When it comes to choosing a lucky day to start using a new wallet, Ichiryū Manbaibi is probably the most well-known.
Meaning “one grain of rice grows into ten thousand,” this day is considered ideal for starting new things.
In particular, it is said that money spent or invested on this day will return multiplied, making it a popular choice for those wishing to improve their financial luck.
In fact, there are several other auspicious days that are also considered ideal for changing wallets.
First, please take a look at the calendar below.
We have also prepared brief explanations below for your reference.
【Day of the Tiger (Tora no Hi)】
A day associated with the tiger in the Chinese zodiac.
Because tigers are said to “travel a thousand miles and return a thousand miles,” money used on this day is believed to come back, making it an auspicious day for attracting financial fortune.
【Day of the Snake (Mi no Hi)】
A day associated with the snake, which is considered a messenger of Benzaiten, the deity of wealth.
This day is regarded as highly favorable for purchasing or starting to use a new wallet.
In particular, “Tsuchinoto-Mi no Hi,” which occurs once every 60 days, is said to be an especially powerful day for financial luck.
【Taian】
Perhaps the most widely recognized auspicious day.
Among the six traditional calendar fortunes, Taian is considered the most favorable and is believed to be suitable for starting anything.
【Tensha Day】
Known as the most auspicious day on the calendar, Tensha Day is said to be when heaven forgives all sins.
Occurring only a few times a year, it is considered the best possible day to begin something new.
What do you think?
There are even rare, almost miraculous days when several of these auspicious days coincide (March 5).
Imagining the good fortune that could come from welcoming a new wallet on such a special day is exciting, isn’t it?
Check the calendar and choose the day that feels right for you.
Two Wallets We Highly Recommend Right Now
At master-piece, we offer a wide range of wallets.
This time, we would like to introduce two models that sit at opposite ends of the spectrum: minimal and multi-functional.
・CAST Compact Wallet No.997003 / ¥16,500 (tax included)
Inspired by traditional American tracker wallets, this series uses high-quality leather often found in furniture, refined into a sleek and urban expression.
Both functionality and size have been reimagined to suit modern city life.
The main compartment features a two-layer structure.
You can separate cards and bills completely, or store both together in the back while using the front for receipts—flexibility depending on your style.
Originally designed as a card case, it can hold up to 30 business cards.
This makes it ideal for organizing received cards in one layer and your own in the other.
A coin pocket is located on the back.
With its gusseted design, it offers more storage than expected and allows for easy visibility—also suitable for holding small items like keys.
・Cashless payments are your main lifestyle, and you only need minimal cash
・You want a casual business card holder
This wallet is an excellent choice for those users.
・Pollet Wallet Pouch S No.03161 / ¥24,200 (tax included)
Next is Pollet, featuring a hybrid design that combines a pouch and a wallet, offering exceptional flexibility depending on the situation.
The main compartment is constructed by connecting three pouches together.
The center zip pocket can be used as a coin case, or for small essentials like eye drops.
On both sides, pouches with card slots and free pockets are arranged symmetrically.
This ability to separate and organize makes the Pollet highly practical in many situations.
・You travel abroad frequently and want to separate domestic and international use
・You want to separate work and personal expenses or receipts
・You manage money by purpose, such as daily expenses and savings
By opening the snap button on the bottom, the pouch can stand upright on its own.
With the included shoulder strap attached, it can also be used as a shoulder wallet or pouch.
Thoughtful details throughout expand how and where it can be used.
・You want to go out hands-free on weekends
・You want to manage money by purpose
・You like items that serve multiple roles
It is also a great option as a bag-in-bag.
The way it functions truly changes depending on the user, making it an item that adds enjoyment and flexibility to everyday life.
The beginning of a new year—or any milestone—is a perfect opportunity to reassess how you live and what you carry.
Take a moment to reflect on your lifestyle and choose an item that will bring lasting satisfaction over time.
We hope the wallet you choose becomes a trusted partner as you move through 2026.
