This is a lovely Ikkanbari (lacquered paper) basket bag. Ikkanbari is made by applying Japanese paper or cloth to a bamboo basket and then repeatedly coating it with persimmon tannin. Ikkanbari becomes extremely strong due to the power of the persimmon tannin, so it can withstand heavy items. In some regions, it's called "Ikkan-bari" because it can withstand the weight of one "kan" (a unit of weight, approximately 3.75 kg). This piece is a large basket bag. Plain Japanese paper has been applied and decorated with calligraphy. The front and back have different designs, so you can enjoy different expressions on both sides. Try using it according to your mood! The handles are made of cotton fabric, so they are soft and easy to hold. Even when carrying heavy items, they won't dig into your hands, providing a gentle grip.
