This bag uses the incredibly rare and durable mountain grape vines that grow wild, clinging to trees in remote, secluded areas.
The harvested vines are carefully stripped by hand by skilled artisans and dried in the sun for a long period.
The vines are then meticulously woven by experienced craftsmen to ensure the weave doesn't loosen.

The more you use it, the more the material's texture and beauty will increase, developing a luster. A major appeal is the enjoyment of the color changes over time, and you can use it year-round regardless of the season.

This is an original, one-of-a-kind basket bag, woven using the first skin (Oni-kawa) material without any processing, giving it a rugged yet charming appearance that is very popular.
It is a simple type without an inner lining, so you can enjoy arranging it with your own inner lining.

If you actually hold the product in your hands, you will see that the material and design are incomparably superior to imported items.

This item is made by artisans in Yamagata Prefecture.
(This is not an item made by weaving imported vines in Japan.)
