This natural colour Panama hat is woven from residual balbisiana fibres, which are not used for the Basho cloth fabric. The trunk of Musa balbisiana is composed of 17 layers, with the 13 innermost layers being used for producing cloths. Sonoda Rie (daughter of Yasuhiro and Ritsuko Fukushima) uses the remaining raw material to knit hats.

These are paper bookmarks. The paper is made from Musa balbisiana fibre that was dyed using the Bingata technique, a traditional stenciled resist dyeing technique originating in Okinawa Prefecture. The flower patterns with colourful pigments are typical of the region.

The Obi (Kimono belt) is yarn-dyed to create subtle shades in the fabric. It is woven from carefully selected high-quality fibre portions of Musa balbisiana.

This textile is hand-woven from carefully selected high-quality fibre portions of Musa balbisiana, which grows in a subtropical climate. Customers can tailor the motif before purchasing it.

The fibre that is not used for Basho textile making is cooked with wood lye and beaten to make paper. The paper sheets are stacked on a floorboard, drained, peeled off one by one, and dried. The dried Basho paper is dyed with Ryukyu indigo using the piece dyeing technique.
