==Summary==
==Summary==
Sometime after [[Rohan's Grandmother|his grandmother]]'s death, Rohan heads to Florence, Italy with her keepsake bag in hand. This bag had the [[Gucci Bag Stand|stand-like ability]] to make things of value disappear in a similar manner of [[Cream]] or [[The Hand]]. All the objects Rohan put in it disappear when the bag is closed. For that reason, Rohan visited the Gucci Factory outside of Florence, hoping to find an explanation. Rohan hires a beautiful interpreter for this task. When they talk to the leather goods artisan in charge, Rohan makes a brief demonstration of the bag's abilities. First with a 50 euro bill (hesitating for a moment to put a 100 euro bill instead) and then a 10 euro bill. Both bills disappeared and the artisan explains that the bag is one of three special bags made by one of Gucci's Geniuses. As Rohan insisted in having the bag fixed, the artisan, asks again if he really wanted to "fix" the bag, since Rohan didn't realize the bag's "True Purpose". Rohan ignores that statement and ask the artisan to fix it anyway. Finally, the bag is fixed and Rohan leaves.
Sometime after [[Yu|his grandmother]]'s death, Rohan heads to Florence, Italy with her keepsake bag in hand. The bag carries a [[Gucci Bag Stand|Stand-like property]] that causes any object Rohan puts within the bag to vanish once it closes. For that reason, Rohan visits a Gucci factory near Florence alongside an [[interpreter]], hoping to find an explanation. Speaking to the [[Leather Goods Artisan|leather goods artisan]] in charge, Rohan sees fit to demonstrate the bag's ability using a 10-euro bill and a 50-euro bill (though he briefly considers using a 100-euro bill in place of the latter). Seeing that both bills have disappeared, the artisan explains that Rohan's bag is one of three special bags made by a certain [[Genius Artisan|genius artisan]]. Despite the artisan's warnings that Rohan doesn't understand the bag's "true purpose," Rohan demands that the artisan fix it for normal use. Finally, the bag is fixed, and Rohan leaves alongside his interpreter.


Some time later, the interpreter gets Rohan drunk and steals all his valuables except for the bag, leaving the mangaka wandering alone outside as the rain started falling. However, Rohan finds a new Gucci umbrella on the ground and a car quickly stops to help him.

However, Rohan then finds a new Gucci umbrella on the ground, and a car stops to help him soon after. Rohan arrives at a hotel, but is unable to afford even the hotel's smallest room priced at 60 euros. Just as he is about to leave, a [[Hotel Guests|couple]] notices his recently-found umbrella and offers 60 euros in exchange for it. The price causes Rohan to remember the two bills he put inside the bag, and he finally comes to understand the bag's "true purpose" of [[Equivalent Exchange|equivalent exchange]]. Rohan is able to pay for the hotel room; nonetheless, he regrets not using the 100-euro bill before having the bag "fixed," as the hotel also offered a lavish complementary dinner for only 50 more euros.
Upon entering a hotel, the receptionist offers the smallest room at 60 euros the night but Rohan had no money, passport or documents. When he was about to leave, a man shows interest in his recently found umbrella offering 60 euros. In that moment, Rohan remembered the 50 and 10 bills the bag vanished and understood the bag's "true purpose". Since he "fixed" the bag he understands that was the last "Equivalent Exchange" provided by the bag and laments that he didn't put the 100 euro bill in it.

Kishibe Rohan Meets Gucci (岸辺露伴 グッチへ行く, Kishibe Rohan Gutchi e Iku, lit. Rohan Kishibe Goes to Gucci), also known as Rohan da Gucci, is a one-shot written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki.

Published in the October 2011 issue of Shueisha's women's fashion magazine SPUR on August 23, 2011, the one-shot was created as part of a collaboration to celebrate the reopening of Gucci Shinjuku, the 90th anniversary of Gucci, and the 30th anniversary of Hirohiko Araki's manga career.[2] The one-shot was also included in the first volume of Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan, and was later reprinted in full-color in JOJOmenon.

The story stars Rohan Kishibe as he makes his way to Florence, Italy to uncover the mystery behind his grandmother's Gucci bag, which mysteriously vanishes any object placed inside it.

Summary

Sometime after his grandmother's death, Rohan heads to Florence, Italy with her keepsake bag in hand. The bag carries a Stand-like property that causes any object Rohan puts within the bag to vanish once it closes. For that reason, Rohan visits a Gucci factory near Florence alongside an interpreter, hoping to find an explanation. Speaking to the leather goods artisan in charge, Rohan sees fit to demonstrate the bag's ability using a 10-euro bill and a 50-euro bill (though he briefly considers using a 100-euro bill in place of the latter). Seeing that both bills have disappeared, the artisan explains that Rohan's bag is one of three special bags made by a certain genius artisan. Despite the artisan's warnings that Rohan doesn't understand the bag's "true purpose," Rohan demands that the artisan fix it for normal use. Finally, the bag is fixed, and Rohan leaves alongside his interpreter.

Some time later, Rohan's interpreter gets him drunk and escapes with all of his valuables, leaving only the bag. The manga artist is left to wander alone outside as rain begins to fall. However, Rohan then finds a new Gucci umbrella on the ground, and a car stops to help him soon after. Rohan arrives at a hotel, but is unable to afford even the hotel's smallest room priced at 60 euros. Just as he is about to leave, a couple notices his recently-found umbrella and offers 60 euros in exchange for it. The price causes Rohan to remember the two bills he put inside the bag, and he finally comes to understand the bag's "true purpose" of equivalent exchange. Rohan is able to pay for the hotel room; nonetheless, he regrets not using the 100-euro bill before having the bag "fixed," as the hotel also offered a lavish complementary dinner for only 50 more euros.
