This is a basket with a lid woven from Suzu bamboo.
It is one size larger than our lunch baskets series.
Among the Suzu bamboo crafts, the form in which a body basket and a lid basket are each made,
and then the two are covered with each other requires particularly advanced techniques.

This accessories basket in particular has long been a popular item because of its easy-to-use size,
but due to the depletion of materials and the drastic decrease in the number of people who can make it,
it has been almost impossible to find it in stock.
We have been given valuable baskets from the production area to introduce to you.
















You can place the rice balls directly into the basket without wrapping them in plastic wrap or foil.
May also use a cookie sheet or other similar material,
depending on your preference and the foods you wish to include.
After using it as a lunch basket, rinse it with water using a scrubbing brush, shake it well, or wipe it with a towel to drain it.
If there is no cooking oil on it, you do not need to use detergent.
Then dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight.


It can be used as a basket for stationery or other small items.
You can also use the two baskets separately.
Suzu bamboo is characterized by the glossy luster of its outer skin, its soft and elastic texture, and its durability. 
The yellow color gradually changes to an amber color as it ages. 
It is such an excellent material that even after it has been used and turned amber color, 
the outer skin becomes shiny when washed in water. 
A comfortable basket that can be enjoyed for a long time.

—Suzu bamboo baskets in Iwate Prefecture—
Suzu bamboo found north area of Iwate pref. is said to be particularly strong and flexible. 
Suzu bamboo crafts have been made with this bamboo for more than 1,000 years.
However, since around 2015, Suzu bamboo has been dying all over Iwate Prefecture for several years. 
Suzu bamboo crafts are now more precious than ever, 
as it has become more and more difficult to gather high-quality Suzu bamboo for use as material.
Suzu bamboo is said to die after blooming small yellow flowers when it reaches the end of its life span, and after the bamboo withers, 
which is said to occur once every 120 years. 
It is said to take 10 to 20 years for the young shoots to grow tall enough to be used for bamboo crafts.
This was an inexperienced situation even for the makers
who have been involved in Suzu bamboo crafts for many years. 
Nevertheless, they have continued their traditional crafts by carefully walking in the mountains 
and using only a tenth of the amount of Suzu bamboo that is normally harvested.
