Hearst Museum object titled Back cushion, bandori, accession number 9-23029, described as Traditional Japanese bandori woven entirely from rice straw ("wara") with some cotton rag woven into the base of the carrying straps and cords attaching them to bottom "rim" of object.

Two braided shoulder straps the length of the basket taper into cords that are attached to the bottom "rim.
