Tsuno-bukuro are composed of a single long piece of
hand-woven fabric, sewn together on the bias to produce this uniquely
shaped long bag. Although we don’t have a lot of information about them,
such bags such as these were most likely used to transport grains or
beans, and were probably suspended from ceilings to keep their contents
dry and protected from mice.
This form of bias construction is
very useful because it allows the fabric to stretch and protects the
stitching from exposure. Even though they have always been constructed in
the same way, their shapes would change with use over time depending on
the fabric they were made from: cotton, hemp, linden, or paper mulberry.
