This is a wastepaper basket made of Nemagari bamboo, woven using the same technique as the dish basket.
All the rims are also made of Nemagari bamboo and are tightly wrapped.The bamboo that coils the rim is dried in the sun until it turns yellow, which makes it even more flexible.Two strips of bamboo are threaded through the bottom for added strength.Even more characteristic is the plump shape of the basket.There are some black scuff marks on the inside of the basket that are caused by the making process. Please note that this is not a defective item.Also, the weaving pattern is finished in such a way that it appears to be double,or the pattern of the weaving may differ slightly from the original.There is no problem with the quality of the basket.
If you just want to put in dry paper scraps, you don’t need to put a plastic bag inside.
It can also be used to arrange flowers or as a storage basket. It is wonderful to display flowers boldly.
※This picture is an image of flower arrangement. It is not the product on this page.
The basket is self-supporting, but may topple over depending on the weight and balance of the items in it, so please take care.
The thinner weaving strips give a very different impression, and the plump shape is somewhat charming and pleasing to the eye.
<Nemagari Bamboo Crafts in Togakushi, Nagano Prefecture>
Bamboo crafting began in the early Edo period (1603-1867) as a means of sustenance for the people of the Togakushi Chūsha area. From the Meiji period to the mid-Showa period（mid-19th century to mid-20th century）, as the sericulture industry flourished, the demand for silkworm baskets and other products increased.
In order to protect this important resource, members of the bamboo craft production cooperative take turns acting as “bamboo shoot guard” during the spring bamboo shoot season to prevent overharvesting by people who want to use for food.
The surface of the bamboo is polished and split into four pieces, and the skin and body are separated to make strips. The four most common types of bamboo crafts are -Colanders(plates), -Mushroom / fish basket, -Dish drying basket, -Winnowing basket.
The beauty and durability of the finished product, as well as the warmth unique to Nemagari bamboo, make it a practical item that is widely used by the Japanese people even today, and the color of the product can be enjoyed as it changes over time.
