Takubo Straw Decoration - "Tamago-tsuto" Egg Holder
By Takubo
I’m excited to introduce the traditional egg holder, "tamago-tsuto," for the first time! This clever package is designed to transport eggs safely without breaking them. In a time when eggs were highly valued for their nutritional benefits, they were often wrapped in straw for protection.
Have any of you read the book "How to Wrap 5 Eggs"? It showcases the incredible creativity of our human ingenuity! I hope you enjoy this fun egg holder, which comes with a decorative egg (sorry, they’re not real!).
