Ikkan-bari is a traditional Japanese craft from long ago made of bamboo baskets or wooden objects covered with layers of Japanese paper and finished with “kakishibu” (persimmon tannin used for strength and protection against water). The word “ikkan-bari” (一閑張り) means "strong enough to withstand consistent weight", which is the origin of its name. (Note that there are various other theories as well.)
