Thank you for viewing. Made with Tochigi Prefecture's Yasu-san sei-asa (refined hemp). Originally, the Japanese word "asa" (hemp) refers to this sei-asa or ramie. Hemp twine sold at 100-yen shops and home centers is a different type of hemp, and linen, which is also well-known as hemp, is another type. Currently, it is very difficult to obtain authentic, traditional Japanese hemp. I made this so that you can experience the real thing. Sei-asa, used since before the myth of the opening of the rock cave (Ama-no-Iwato), to purify things that cannot be purified by water or salt. Please hang it in your entrance, living room, or any room you frequent, at a height above your eye level, using pins or S-hooks. It is said to be good for purifying space, but please touch it with your hands every day. ・The red thread is hand-spun and dyed with plant-based madder root dye. ・Made of 100% hemp (sei-asa and ogara, the core of the sei-asa). The hanging string is also made of sei-asa, hand-twisted, so it's all sei-asa. It takes a lot of time and effort. ※This is not meant to be displayed for a year. ・Size Length: Approximately 18 cm Width: Approximately 13 cm Height: Approximately 4 cm Because it is a compact size, it doesn't have a strong presence, so you can decorate your room or entrance in a cute and natural way. Thank you.
