Panama Hat Making Details From the Chandelier Tree Family
The article explains Panama hats are woven from a palm in the chandelier tree family found across northern South America and Central America. Most high quality hats come from Benedor and Peru, selling up to 160 dollars. The process includes removing ribs, soaking shredded leaves in lemon juice, then drying and bleaching. Fibers are woven on the knee, with finest hats taking months to finish and weaving best in morning or rainy season when humidity preserves the fibers.

Last year authorities purchased 4.68 koku of files for 218.97 yen between May 26 and December 2, funded partly by philanthropists. This year 6.68 koku has been bought for 268 yen at 3 to 4 sen go, with local taxes covering part of the costs. Fires are set after purchase, while rats are valued at 3 sen per head on the mainland, a scale unseen before.
