The craftsman who made this parasol

I think he really has a high sense of beauty.

I really think so.

Even old baskets

This is a cherry bark craft from Akita.

The blessings of the forests of Kakunodate, Akita

The reason it is called "cherry bark crafts" is

A craftsman called a "Kabahagi" who specializes in

Cherishing wild cherry blossoms,

Living with wild cherry blossoms

Here is the wisdom of the people.



As an aside,

This basket was once stolen

It's back in my hands again

It is a deep-rooted basket.
