Materials Specific Details

Likely made of rattan rather than twisted paper koyori but I’m not certain. Seems quite fragile and is missing the original hooks used to attach the paper core hibukuro so I’ll likely not risk restoring it. Cleaned it lightly with a slightly moistened soft

toothbrush, added weight to get it back into a flat configuration, and later lightly brushed it with perillia seed oil.
