This is a dyed silkworm cocoon ornament purchased from the famous Yamagata Prefecture plant dyeing studio, "Bin-ya." Bin-ya uses local, natural materials, and plants they cultivate themselves for their plant dyeing. These beautifully dyed cocoons in seven colors are perfect as auspicious seasonal decorations for the New Year. Of course, you can also enjoy them as ornaments to appreciate their colors any time of year. *Different colored products are also available for sale. ・There are minor scratches on the outer box, but there are no issues with the cocoons. ・I haven't touched them much other than for taking photos, but please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor details. #PlantDyeing #SilkwormCocoon #Bin-ya #SeasonalDecorations
