G1848 Japanese Folk Craft Sado Sugigasa (Reed Hat)

Thank you for looking.

This is an old Japanese folk craft, a Sugasa (reed hat) from Sado Island.

It has a unique heart-like shape, unlike the usual conical shape. The surface is inscribed with Sado in ink, making it a very unusual and rare item.
The material is woven from straw and plant fibers, with red and purple cords as accents.
There are some tears, fraying, and discoloration, but we hope you will appreciate them as the charm of an antique item that has passed through many years.
Would be perfect for collectors of Sado folk crafts and antiques, or for those looking for Japanese-style interior decor.

Please only purchase if you understand and accept that this is an old item.
