magewappa and kept together with the bark of kaba 樺 birch trees or sakura 桜 cherry trees.
Apart from cypress wood, sugi 杉 cedar and maki 槙 Maki conifers was also used.
Tsukurimono were square instead of bent.
They used all kinds of blades to cut the wood. The small slips for the bark were made with a took called
mesashi 目さし (eye-opening knife).
They also made hishaku 柄杓（ひしやく）ladles，sanbo 三宝 stands for the altar，meshibitsu 飯櫃（めしびつ）rice containers ，oboke 苧桶（おぼけ），seiro 蒸籠（せいろう）bamboo steamers，furui 篩（ふるい）sieves and about 40 other things.

In Osaka 大坂立売堀中橋町
there lived a Himono maker in a rented shop. Once around 1655 there was a tremblor around six in the morning and then water from the sea welled up on his kitchen floor. When he wiped it off, it was soon back again. Next some fine earth came falling down from the ceiling. And something like a priest's ceremonial robe came down from the sky and hang on his roof.
In 富山県 Toyama, 備中国 Bitchu province
there lived a Himono maker with his daughter, O-Matsu. One night she came down with a high fever and the next morning, she had turned into a boy.
