It is said that about 300 years ago, travelers from Inshu (Tottori Prefecture), who came to Kinosaki for a hot-spring cure, affixed colored straw to bamboo flutes and frames, and sold them at the eaves of inns to supplement their lodging fees.\u003cbr\u003eLater, as the technique progressed, some of them were made into boxes and ema (votive picture horses), and in the Meiji era (1868-1912), famous painters came to Japan to draw preliminary sketches and give designs for prototypes. Today, straw is dyed and stretched over paulownia boxes, colored paper, dokuraku (a Japanese traditional Japanese toy), earthenware bells, and other items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsman Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eToshiaki Kamiya \/ Kamiya Straw Craft Shop\u003cbr\u003eMr. Kamiya is the third generation of the “Kamiya Straw Craft Shop” and is currently making straw crafts in Kinosaki, Hyogo Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003eThe straw craft technique has been handed down only in Kinosaki in Japan, and there are currently only five craftsmen.
