On Sado Island in Niigata, not only bamboo work but also straw craft using rice straw has long been practiced.
Today, with mechanized harvesting now the norm, rice straw that once came as a byproduct of hand harvesting is becoming a precious material.
This is a trivet woven from rice straw.
It comes in three sizes: small, medium, and large.Dried rice straw is twisted into cords and firmly wrapped around the core.Compared with those made in other regions, the trivets made on Sado are woven more tightly.The inner part is woven even more densely, leaving hardly any gaps.A hanging loop peeks out from the weave, making it convenient to hang in the kitchen when not in use.This is the small size.It is just the right size for small pots, small rice pots or iron pots, teapots, or smaller kettles.Here the small size is shown holding a teapot.This is the medium size.It is a versatile size that works for small to medium pots, including donabe. It can hold pots with a bottom diameter of 3.94″ or more.Here the medium size is shown holding a Yukihira pan with a bottom diameter of about 7.48″. It is handy for setting down a hot pan during cooking.This is the large size.It is a reliable size that can handle larger frying pans or donabe.Here the large size is shown holding a frying pan.After weaving, the stray “hairs” of straw sticking out are singed with fire.
For this reason, there may be scorched areas when the product is delivered, but please note that this is not a defect. Also, because of this finishing process, bits of straw may fall off at the beginning of use. This will stop over time, so please be assured.
This straw trivet has long been loved by many people, but with the scarcity of materials due to mechanization, the aging of the makers, and the aging of the wholesalers who carefully collect the straw in the region, it has truly become a precious item.
This straw trivet can be used for a long time. It suits not only iron pots and donabe, but also glass and aluminum cookware. Please enjoy the warmth of this handwork in your kitchen or on your dining table.
Please choose your preferred size from small, medium, and large.
