UK shifts on bank tax plan at G20
Gordon Brown, the British prime minister, backed away from his proposal for a financial transactions tax on Sunday after widespread criticism of his plan, set out in a weekend speech to G20 finance ministers in Scotland. The US led a backlash against the “Tobin tax” on financial transactions after Brown surprised the G20 ministers with his proposal. UK officials insisted Brown was not abandoning the idea of agreeing a mechanism to make the banks bear more costs of future bail-outs. More analysis of the G20 meeting here.
This is a 巾着袋 Kinchaku-Bukuro or Japanese drawstring bag.
This was handmade in the 1980's. Though this is 20+ years old, it is in perfect brand new condition as it was never used. The lady who made them loved to sew and she had so many she never used most of them. The outside is made up of many different fabric patterns made mostly of cotton. The inside is lined with more cotton fabric. This measures 22.2 cm at the widest point and 27.5 cm long. It is closed by pulling the strings together which then can be used to carry it. This is a wonderful example of Japanese handmade bags and is perfect for carrying small things like makeup etc.http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33415694
