This is a New Year's decoration made with new rice from ancient rice varieties, carefully cultivated by the whole family. The well-ripened rice ears were dried in the sun. A simple yet very auspicious item, it includes a straw craft turtle, which is indispensable for celebrations as a symbol of longevity. The tail of the turtle is made from new rice of the "Kinumusume" variety, which received a Grade 1 rating when shipped after the rice harvest. Of course, it is delicious new rice that can also be eaten. Length: Approximately 32 cm Turtle: Shell part, 6 cm each in length and width Tip of the ear to the end: Approximately 24 cm Shipping will be done via Mercari Mail (Nekopos) in a new cardboard box with measures taken to prevent water damage. The tips of the ears will be rolled up for packaging, and it will be slightly compressed, so please adjust the balance upon arrival. Please understand that some grains may fall off during transportation due to the well-ripened rice ears. We would be very happy if this work could be a part of your new year. Due to the complex production process of the turtle, we cannot make many, so it is a limited quantity. We don't know how many we can make this year, so please purchase early if you like it.
