Among everyday tools, straw tools were rarely left in good condition because they can be burned as fuel when no longer functional or required. Straw is a familiar and indispensable material for people whose lives are based on rice cultivation, and it has been used to make a variety of agricultural tools and household items.
Tsubura were one of these versatile straw tools. Originally, they were used to hold wooden containers of boiled rice to keep it warm, however this item was also used for other purposes, such as a crib for small babies. Women carried their babies in tsubura and kept them within sight as they worked in the fields.
