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. Tag indicates that the rice straw is woven in "neko" style; straw is braided vertically with the appearance of parallel plaits, yet the braid is continuous. Weave continues around the sides of the bandori without any break or seams. This creates a funnel shape with opening at either end. One end is "sewn" shut, while the other becomes the mouth of the bandori, where items may be carried. Two braided shoulder straps the length of the basket taper into cords that are attached to the bottom "rim.

Hearst Museum object titled Back cushion, bandori, accession number 9-23023, described as Traditional Japanese bandori intricately woven from linden bast ("shina"), sedge ("suge"), wild grapevine bark ("budo"), and cotton rags. The two shoulder straps are made of braided sedge interwoven with strips of black and maroon cotton rag. The straps are spaced barely 1.5" apart; at ends of straps, braid tapers into sedge cords attached at either side of cushion to loops made of wild grapevine bark. Cushion where it rests against back is U-shaped with vertical central opening; this inside layer of cushion is made from strands of rice straw lying taut side-by-side in a radial pattern. At the edge these strands continue into a single-plaited seam, with two thinner, parallel seams of grapevine bark. A net made from grapevine bark lies flat against the outside or "front" of the cushion and covers the central opening; a horizontal strap runs the entire width of the cushion, made of disparate strips of wild grapevine bark pushed through a central vertical loop. length - 27.5", width - 9.75", thickness - 2.5

Hearst Museum object titled Back cushion, neko, accession number 9-23036, described as Back cushion and basket, or "neko," woven from rice straw ("wara").

Hearst Museum object titled Back cushion, senakaate, accession number 9-23018, described as Two-layer, long, rectangular back cushion woven from rice straw ("wara"). Layer worn against the back is tightly woven, with straight, unbraided "warps" and braided "wefts." Outer layer is more loosely woven; the warps along the left and right edges are unbraided and open. Pieces of faded blue and white plaid cotton rags attached along the vertical outer seam. Two layers are joined just below the shoulders with rice straw cord. Gift of Nago-san. length - 45", width - 15", thickness - 1

Hearst Museum object titled Back cushion, senakaate, accession number 9-23028, described as Long, rectangular back cushion, or "senaka-ate," woven from rice straw ("wara") and consisting of two "sides" or layers. One side is 8 1-inch single-plait braids wide, lying vertically side-by-side with slight separation. They are joined by a single cord pushed through braids horizontally at their vertical midpoint. The other side of the cushion feature a basket weave: bunches of untwisted/unbraided rice straw form "warps" held in place by thin braided "wefts" spaced at roughly 5" intervals. These braids become untwisted, loose straw along the top. Entire cushion is encircled by braided "rim." Two straw cords attached at opposite points along sides form carrying shoulder straps; these cords are pushed through bottom of cushion just above rim and knotted together on opposite side. length - 22", width - 11", thickness - 1.5
