Hemp Tsunobukuro 'Horn Bag'

This is a traditional style of  bag made from a single length of folded and stitched fabric.   The triangular 'horns' that give it its name can be tied like a furoshiki to create a handle. Because the material is on the bias it has quite a bit of stretch.  These types of bags were often used for storing and carrying grain etc and so were made from a sturdy bast fibres. This one is hemp.  The colour is a darker hessian/straw colour than it looks in the photos.  It's in good condition with a small stain on one side.  It measures 35cm x 110cm. Early - mid 20th century.
