Thank you for your continued support of master-piece.
This is Honda from master-piece KYOTO.
As we feel the warmth of spring more often, it’s finally time to start planning for cherry blossom viewing.
When going cherry blossom viewing, many of you probably pack lunch boxes and drinks in a larger bag.
For such occasions, we recommend a sacoche or shoulder bag.
You can carry valuables, and they’re very convenient when taking photos or going for a short walk.
Today, we’d like to introduce sacoches and shoulder bags that are perfect to carry along with a larger bag.
Before Introducing the Bags
This season, due to higher temperatures in early spring, cherry blossoms are expected to bloom earlier than usual nationwide.
I’ve compiled bloom forecasts that I personally researched and created a custom calendar.
I hope you find it helpful!
If you want to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom, about 5 days after the dates on my custom calendar would be ideal.
*However, this can vary considerably depending on weather and temperature, so please check frequently if you’re planning an outing.
For Nearby Cherry Blossom Viewing: Sacoche
When going to a nearby park for cherry blossom viewing, you’ll likely carry a bag with lunch and valuables.
For those traveling with minimal items, we recommend a thin and lightweight sacoche.
◾️Size
If you only need to carry a smartphone, wallet, and small items, a sacoche is perfect.
At 23cm in height and 28cm in width, it’s a size that fits comfortably against your body, not too prominent when worn, and allows you to keep valuables like your wallet close to you.
Since it fits snugly against your body, it offers a size that won’t get in the way even when moving around actively.
◾️Storage
It also includes space for small emergency items.
You can store handkerchiefs, tissues, and other items separately, making it compact yet highly practical.
Additionally, there’s a small pocket on the back that can store a smartphone.
The ability to smoothly access frequently used items is one of its attractions.
Actually, sacoches were originally used in bicycle races as bags to hand drinks and energy supplements to racers.
Because they were used in competitions, they’re designed to be lightweight and non-intrusive, with smooth item retrieval.
That’s why they’re perfect for spring cherry blossom viewing and leisure activities.
For Distant Cherry Blossom Viewing: Shoulder Bag
When going a bit farther for cherry blossom viewing, you’ll have more items like mobile chargers, cameras, and even folding parasols.
In such cases, a shoulder bag is recommended.
It’s perfect for those who want more capacity than a sacoche but don’t want something too large that becomes cumbersome.
◾️Size
Long wallet, handkerchief, tissues, pouch, folding parasol—
all these items fit comfortably inside.
When worn, it looks neat, and even when sitting, there’s no feeling of pressure.
Even at venues with food stalls, it won’t get in the way, allowing you to move around smartly.
◾️Storage
The main space features mesh pockets, allowing you to store small items separately.
It can also fit a DSLR camera and has separate space for a tablet.
Of course, it’s perfect for those who regularly carry tablets, but it’s also convenient to have one for children to watch videos during travel or waiting times.
It has more storage capacity than it appears.
This series uses PU-coated material, which not only provides water resistance but also allows you to easily wipe away dirt.
Easy maintenance makes it perfect for outdoor activities.
Part of the joy of cherry blossom viewing is enjoying lunch and drinks.
At such times, having a sacoche or shoulder bag to carry just your valuables is very convenient.
By smartly combining them with the larger bag you use as your main carrier, you can enjoy your spring outings more comfortably.
We would be delighted if you choose master-piece bags for your spring cherry blossom viewing season outings.
