From everyday tools to seasonal decorations, straw craftsmanship was once deeply woven into daily life. Today, however, the number of artisans practising these traditional techniques has declined, and outside of New Year decorations, such work is rarely seen even in Japan. Choosing to use these objects in everyday life helps keep both the craft and the knowledge behind it alive for future generations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Yu Gothic Light',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-fareast; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-fareast;\"\u003eWith its natural texture and quiet character, this handwoven trivet pairs beautifully with Nanbu Tekki cast-iron kettles, iron frying pans and Donabe earthenware pots. As it is used over time, the straw gradually develops a rich, warm brown patina, making each piece uniquely its own.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Yu Gothic Light',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-fareast; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-fareast;\"\u003eProduct Details;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Yu Gothic Light',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-fareast; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-fareast;\"\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Yu Gothic Light',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-fareast; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-fareast;\"\u003eMaterials: Rice Straw\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Yu Gothic Light',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-fareast; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-fareast;\"\u003eDimensions: approx.
