Please refer to the following product description: ↓ The folk toy "Hato-guruma (Pigeon Cart)" from Nozawa Onsen, Shinshu, is a long-selling product. Unfortunately, production has stopped because there is no successor to continue manufacturing it. In the past, there were many akebi vines around Nozawa Onsen village, and folk tools were made using those vines. The Hato-guruma was originally made from akebi vines, but it came to be made from rattan vines due to a shortage and rising prices of raw materials. Therefore, it is white when newly made, and the color changes to a渋い飴色 (shibu-ameiro - a deep, amber color) over time, increasing its flavor. Some customers even prefer the display items that have changed color over the pure white stock items.
