This is hand-woven basket made from birch wood.
Birch refers to trees in the Betula group in general, and refers to hardwood. It is often used as a material for furniture, pillars, beams and floors.
In Northern Europe and Russia, there is a tradition of using birch bark to make crafts, but here, instead of bark, thinly sliced wood from logs is used.

On this page, we will introduce the baskets known as “Apple Baskets” locally.
In Estonia, apples ripening in the autumn are a seasonal symbol, just like in Japan.
Many houses with gardens have apple trees, and people enjoy eating them fresh or making apple juice.
Basket weaving using bamboo for apple harvesting can also be seen in Aomori and Nagano prefectures in Japan, 
while the Estonian version of this is the basket shown here.

This is a large basket that looks like it can hold a lot of apples. 
The size is similar to the shopping baskets you can find in Japanese supermarkets.






















It looks like it would be useful as a shopping basket.
Of course, it’s also great as a stock basket for vegetables and root vegetables at home.
With an eco-bag or plastic bag, the items you’ve bought will move around inside, 
but this is also useful for carrying delicate items such as fruit and cakes that you don’t want to tilt.
Birch’s texture goes very well with the colors of fruits and vegetables, 
and it enhances the atmosphere of whatever you put inside it.

Not just for shopping baskets, you can also use it as a blanket holder indoors.
If you place it in your living room, it will also function as interior decoration.

The color of the birch wood means it goes well with both tatami(Japanese floor mat) and wooden flooring.
Just like in Estonia, it would also be useful for harvesting fruits and vegetables from your home garden or your own plot of land.
We hope you enjoy using it in any way you like, indoors or outdoors.

__Estonia: Making Birch Baskets__
In Estonia, baskets have been traditionally made from pine trees for over 200 years.
On the other hand, there are also baskets made from birch wood that have been given a more stylish finish by adding design elements to the traditional basket-making techniques used by their ancestors.
At this workshop, which has been in business for over 20 years, a small team of highly skilled craftspeople, 
centered around a single family, work together to produce high-quality baskets made from birch wood on a daily basis.
Guided by the principles of Scandinavian design – simplicity, minimalism and practicality – 
they continue to create new specifications and sizes that are suited to the modern age, 
as well as updating traditional berry baskets and mushroom baskets for the modern age.
The stable finish and its elegant, refined texture are easy to incorporate into modern living, 
and it can play two roles: practical and interior.
