Paper Cord Hanging String (Koyori Kakeo) Alternative: Cotton Cord for Headwear, for Shinto Priests, Sent via Standard Mail. Cord for Headwear. Thank you very much for accessing my listing from among many others. This is a 150cm cotton cord for headwear, intended for Shinto priests. This listing is for the cord only. The hanging string (kakeo) of the headwear is usually made of paper cord (koyori), which is made of paper. When you don't have time, it can break, become a little loose, or the spare you prepared might become soggy due to humidity, which can be inconvenient. This product is 100% cotton and looks the same as the paper version, so you don't have to worry about it breaking. Also, because it is 100% cotton, it can be washed if it gets dirty. You can cut it to your desired length with scissors. We also have cords for eboshi (formal headwear) available. Color...White
