The hemp twine is white, made of three strands, and woven more densely than a bowstring. Size: Approximately 4 cm wide, 7.5 cm long, and 11.5 cm total length. It comes with a red mini tsuruwa (string loop) with a diameter of 2.5 cm. At the customer's request, a ring has been added to the top. As it is handmade, please forgive any minor imperfections. When using it as a waraji (straw sandal), fold it lengthwise and rub the string. Rubbing it well will lower the yugake (bow grip) by 3-5 mm even with synthetic strings. The string will tighten, improving the sound of the string and making it less likely to break. Waraji is also known as "Waraji" (meaning "road of harmony"), and is very popular as a good luck charm for various life journeys (childbirth, entrance into school, travel, etc.). It would make a good present.
