Newest model, highest quality, domestically produced Japanese wild grape (Yamadou) basket bag, with a small oval braided design, and domestically dyed persimmon tannin inner lining. Second skin. Handle reinforced arrangement type. Width 28 x Depth 10 x Height 20 (all in centimeters) Large size also available. This bag uses the very rare and durable wild grape vines that grow by winding around trees in remote, secluded areas. The harvested vines are carefully stripped by craftsmen, and dried in the sun for a long period of time. Skilled artisans weave the vines carefully so that the weave does not loosen. The narrower the width of the vine, the more time and labor it takes to weave, but this product is woven with extremely thin 3mm vines. The smooth surface means it's less likely to snag from the start, and is recommended for those who wear delicate clothing or kimonos. This item is a handle-reinforced arrangement type. Using the techniques of the craftsman, the handles are woven with more than twice the number of vines to prevent fraying and breakage. It is a very durable and beautiful finish, and is highly recommended. The more you use it, the more the texture of the material will increase its beauty and luster. The ability to enjoy the change in color over time is a major attraction. Also, due to its color, it can be used all year round regardless of the season. The inner lining uses the highest quality domestically produced persimmon tannin dyed fabric. If you actually hold the product in your hand, you will see that the material and design are incomparably better than imported products. What is "First Skin"... It is woven with the outer bark with almost no processing. Therefore, the color is a chic, dark color, and you can fully enjoy the natural taste of the vines. What is "Second Skin"... It is made using only the beautiful, soft inner part after removing the outer skin of the first skin. Therefore, it has a very smooth texture and a mild, gentle color. Depending on the weaving method, it is a very difficult skin that requires the skill of a craftsman. (We are using products from craftsmen in Yamagata Prefecture, so please rest assured. Recently, there has been an increase in products that claim to be domestic products by weaving imported vines domestically. Please be careful.)
