m. こういうサイズ のを探していました。
最近の物価上昇で嗜好品は我慢していましたが、10%オフだしお年玉のつもりで購入しました。やはり素敵で網代編みはS字フックが使えないと書いてあったので四つ目編みにしました。２つ並べていますが良い感じです。

On this page, we introduce a postcard holder made of Itaya maple.
There are two types with the same size and different weaving techniques. The one on the left is finished in “Ajiro weaving” and the one on the right is finished in “Yotsume weaving.”
Although the basket is designed to stand on its own, it is recommended to stand it up, hang it on the wall,
or fix it with thumbtacks when using it with something inside.
When hanging, use hooks, yarn, or string between the weaving to suit the situation.
Itaya maple work is characterized by a fresh white color that blends seamlessly into any space,
and a soft feel to the touch that is hard to believe it is wood,
thanks to the careful chamfers.
Another pleasant feature is that it is lightweight and sturdy.
With time, it will slowly change to an amber color,
which is also a pleasure to look forward to.
For holding postcards, envelopes and other mail, pocket albums, notebooks and diaries.
Or, it is a dependable organizing basket that can accept stationery, cutlery, coffee filters,
mask holders, and many other things.
A small bottle could be placed inside and enjoyed as a flower vase.
Please select the type you prefer.
<Itaya maple work from Akita Pref.>
For about 200 years,
farmers in the areas of Akita City, Daisen City, and Senboku City in central Akita Prefecture
have been making crafts using Itaya maple as a side job during the off-season.
In Senboku City, Akita Prefecture, there were nearly 40 households engaged in Itaya maple work at its peak.
In those days, most of the households produced “winnowoing basket” for use by farmers.
The material should be harvested before the fall snowfall,
and all but the necessary amount should be stored in the snow to preserve its unique white color.
The logs are first roughly split into eight pieces.
Machines are used in the process, but the majority of strips are done by hand.
The material is then taped into thin strips, down to a thickness of about 1 mm.
There are almost no more people who go into the mountains and cut down trees.
As a result, Itaya maple basket weaving has become very precious.
