From there, the industry gradually developed, and at its height in the Taisho era (1912-1926), the number of employees reached over 70, forming a town called \"Kagoya-machi\" (basket town). Around this time, basket makers also went to Beppu in Kyushu, where bamboo crafts are now flourishing, to introduce bamboo crafting techniques and skills.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAround 1945, however, the number of people engaged in the craft declined due to the introduction of inexpensive, mass-produced plastic products and the war, and the lack of successors led to a gradual decline.
