Round basket with handle / Spruce / POL 340222-1　ポーランド/松の根　手つき　丸バスケット


							



This basket is made from the roots of a tree called “Spruce.” 




In Poland, baskets are made from the roots of pine, juniper, spruce, and other trees.
Because roots are tough and soft, they have been used as one of the ideal materials for baskets in Poland.


The person who makes this baskets is a soon-to-be 90-year-old named Alexander.
With his long experience, he knows where, how, and how much to pick.






The entire basket is woven alternately with spruce roots for the horizontal strips and hazel tree strips for the vertical.




Because of the waviness, it is not “uniform”. However, the waviness and unique thickness are the real appeal of the root basket.






It is a great skill to have the wavy strips wrapped so tightly.


The horizontal and vertical frames are first aligned, tied and fastened together, and then the weaving begins.


In Japan, it is rare to begin basket making in this method. In Europe, however, basket making often begins with the making of a frame like this.


The handle, like the rim, is made of hazel wood, with spruce roots wrapped around it.


Because the branches are used as the core, it has a slightly bumpy texture.


The roots of spruce trees of various thicknesses are combined.


Due to the natural material, there are cracks,


or ｒoots with extremely heavy swell may be mixed in. Please understand this in advance.


Also, the wire used to fasten the core material may be visible. This is not a defective product.




The more it looks, the more it conveys the depth of the waviness.
It is a basket with a sense of culture, filled with the wisdom, effort, and skill of life in a snowy country.


In the area where Alexander lives, this basket was a necessity for harvesting vegetables, flowers, and herbs.




People make baskets and carry things with the materials available there, 
depending on the environment.
It is a very reasonable idea.


We would be happy if you could take it into your daily life.
