The hemp twine is white, made of three strands, and woven more densely than a bowstring. Size: A small oval shape, approximately 4 cm wide and 5 cm long, with a total length of 9 cm. Includes a red mini string loop with a diameter of 2 cm. Since it is handmade, please forgive any minor imperfections. I made it as a cute mini straw sandal, so I don't recommend it for this purpose... - If using as a straw sandal, fold it lengthwise and rub it against the bowstring. - Rubbing it well will lower the bow grip by 3-5 mm even with synthetic strings. - The string will tighten, improving the string sound and making it less likely to break. Straw sandals are also called "Waraji" (和楽路), and are very popular as good luck charms for various life journeys (childbirth, entrance to school, travel, etc.). I think the lucky straw sandals would make a good present. Another product with the same name, "Lucky Straw Sandals," has appeared on another flea market, so I've added a tag for distinction.
