This cat basket is made entirely from rice straws. Nothing else is used.
Woven very densely, it is sturdy, durable, and surprisingly weighty 4kg. So the basket won't easily get turned over when more than one cats are on top of it.

Only hand-picked best quality straws were used to endure sturdiness and durability. Hand crafted by skilled artisans from Waramu, a weaver's collective based in Iijima, Japan.
Rice straws used were grown by the maker by themselves organically and sustainably.

Very breathable, warm in winter, cool and breathable in summer.

Top opening is ideal for the playful cats to poke out heads, and also you can see your pets from the top.

This high-end cat basket has an interesting back story.
Silkworm farming used to be an important industry for Iijima area, where the maker is based. The local people treated cats well as they chased off mice that would harm silkworm..... Read more about straw art and cat deity on Journal.
