Chisepo Needle Case In an era when metal was precious, Ainu women carried this tool with them at all times to avoid losing their needles. Men would carve Ainu patterns on them and give them as gifts to loved ones, a traditional craft filled with heartfelt sentiment. I purchased this a long time ago at a craft exhibition or similar event, and I have kept it stored at home in its bag, without using it. I would be happy if someone interested in Ainu culture and crafts would use it. Total length: Approximately 21cm Wooden product
