Finest Quality Japanese Mountain Grape (Yamadou) First Bark Oblique Weave Basket Bag with Domestic Persimmon-Dyed Lining - Small Size: Width 26 x Depth 10 x Height 19 (all in centimeters) (Large and Medium sizes are also available. Please inquire via comments if you wish.) This bag uses the very rare and durable mountain grape vines that grow in the remote, secluded areas, entwined around trees. The harvested vines are carefully stripped by artisans and dried in the sun for a long period. Skilled artisans weave the vines carefully to prevent the weave from loosening. The narrower the vine width, the more time and labor it takes to weave, but this product is woven with extremely thin 3mm vines. The more you use it, the more the texture of the material enhances its beauty and develops a luster, so you can enjoy the change in color over time, which is a great appeal. With its dark, chic color, it can be used widely with both Western and Japanese attire. This is a top-quality persimmon-dyed lining specification, making it a popular item for men as well. The inner lining uses the finest quality persimmon-dyed fabric. If you actually hold the product in your hand, you will see that the material and design are incomparably better than imported products. What is "First Bark"... It is woven with the outer bark with almost no processing. Therefore, the color is a chic, dark tone, and you can fully feel the natural taste of the vines. What is "Second Bark"... It is made using only the beautiful, soft inner part after peeling off the outer bark. Therefore, it has a very smooth texture and a mild, gentle color. Depending on the weaving method, it is a very difficult bark that requires the skill of the artisan. (This is a product from artisans in Yamagata Prefecture. It is not a product woven domestically from imported vines.)
