Hearst Museum object titled Basket, shoikago, accession number 9-22959, described as The rice straw cord from which this contemporary bag is made is very tightly braided. The result is a very finely made product with a great deal of "energy". Setup is unknown. Base: 75 "warps" on each of the longer sides and a single central weft that binds the warps in place. There are possibly 6 extra warps added to form each end. They are attached to the outside warps at each end of the base and are added in once the central and 2 outer wefts have been woven in. Sides: 12 sets of "wefts" at 3cm intervals. The weaving style is futagoami. In the lower corners 2 extra wefts are woven in to strengthen this potentially weak point.

Another cord attached to one side of the rim secured the contents.
