What is rice hat?

Rice hat, also known as conical hat or Asian hat, is a traditional headgear worn by farmers and laborers in many Asian countries, including China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. It is made of a lightweight material, such as straw, bamboo, or palm leaves, and has a conical shape with a wide brim that provides shade and protection from the sun and rain. The hat is typically held in place by a chinstrap or ribbon, and can be folded flat for easy storage and transportation. In addition to its practical use, the rice hat has also become a symbol of traditional Asian culture and is often featured in art, fashion, and tourism.
