The bento, made at home, is wrapped in a furoshiki cloth, which acts as both bag and table mat.
A placemat or table mat is a covering and/or pad designating an individual place setting, unlike the larger table cloth that covers the entire surface.
If the railway workshops had been allowed, they could have used available labour in the manufacture from those off-cuts of things such as table mats.
Some receive 20p or 30p an hour for packing cards and others 80p or 90p an hour for painting table mats.
Each of the tribe has its own unique designs and colours, producing shawls, shoulder bags, decorative spears, table mats, wood carvings, and bamboo works.
