起源は繩文時代に遡るといわれ、山菅（ヒロロ）やマタタビ、山ブドウ蔓の自然素材で籠などの生活用品を生産している。近年産地では「生活工藝運動」により技術・技法の繼承と自然との共生を目指している。

The origins of this ware are said to date back to the Jomon period (ca.10,000B.C.-ca.300B.C.) Household items are being woven from various natural materials such as silvervines and wild vines. In recent years, the preservation of the old craft traditions has been promoted under the movement of "Traditional Crafts for Everyday Use," with also aims at the conservation of natural materials and their native environment.
