{"product_id":"itaya-craft-woven-horse-large","title":"Itaya Craft Woven Horse {Large}","description":"\u003cp\u003eItaya Craft is a traditional craft from Kakunodate in Akita Prefecture, northern Japan, with over 200 years of history. Rooted in farming communities, it began as a winter side business, primarily focused on creating essential farm tools like winnowing baskets and scoops. The craft involves skillfully whittling thin strips of locally grown Itaya maple (Itaya-kaede) and weaving them together, with most of the work done by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Itaya Craft also includes delightful creations such as the \"Itaya Uma\" horse, a popular folk toy cherished for its symbolic good fortune. The horse and other items showcase the deep, natural tones of Itaya maple’s pristine white bark, blending rustic tradition with modern appeal. Craftsman Mr. Sato carries on this heritage, crafting each piece with care and a passion for sharing the timeless elegance of Itaya maple work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe large size Itaya Horses are added to the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/uguisustore.pro\/collections\/crafts-of-akita\"\u003eCrafts of Akita collection\u003c\/a\u003e at Uguisu!\u003cbr\u003eThe large Itaya Woven Horses are lovely as decorations on the shelf or on the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/uguisustore.pro\/products\/itaya-craft-horse\"\u003eSmall \u0026amp; Medium size also available--\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMEASUREMENTS: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e   [Large] Approximately 23cm W x 17.5cm H \/ 9\" x 6.9\"\u003cbr\u003e    *Please expect ±1-1.5cm for each piece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eItaya-kaede\u003c\/em\u003e (Japanese maple tree)\u003cbr\u003eHandcrafted in Akita, Japan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePlease note there will be slight variations in the size and details in each piece due to the nature of handmade items and the natural material.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/uguisustore.pro\/collections\/crafts-of-akita\"\u003eSEE ALL CRAFTS OF AKITA--\u0026gt; \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crafts of Akita","offers":[{"title":"[A] Brown with White Legs","offer_id":40737209385027,"sku":"","price":9.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"[B] White with Brown Legs","offer_id":40737209450563,"sku":"","price":9.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"[C] White with Brown Tail","offer_id":40737209516099,"sku":"","price":9.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"[D] White","offer_id":40737209581635,"sku":"","price":9.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0203\/8604\/files\/IMG_6424.jpg?v=1761705952","url":"https:\/\/uguisustore.pro\/products\/itaya-craft-woven-horse-large","provider":"UGUiSU STORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
