Toyo straw is a type of shiny smooth straw made chiefly in Japan with shellacked rice paper[citation needed]while, according to European hatmakers, it is an artificial paper straw made of 100% viscose.[1] This material is commonly used for straw hats and fedoras.[2]
Hats woven from this material are smooth and lightweight, and are often an off-white or golden copper color.[citation needed] The rice paper is coated with shellac, cellophane,[3] or a plastic glaze. Machine-made toyo straw hats are generally sold in the medium to low price range.[citation needed]
