This small, slim basket is woven with strips of green bamboo.
Green bamboo refers to Madake bamboo freshly cut while still retaining its natural green color. This basket is woven with strips of green bamboo whose outer skin has been shaved thin. Shaving the skin reduces the appearance of scratches or spots on the surface, while adding luster and enhancing its beauty. Over time, it gradually changes into a warm amber color, evenly and beautifully.
Its straight, slender silhouette leaves a striking impression.The body is woven in the gozame-ami technique, in which thin strips are regularly wrapped around wide vertical ribs.So smooth that one might forget bamboo can splinter,it is woven carefully.The rim is finished with shaved bamboo strips and Tsudura-fuji vines, resulting in a finish that is both beautiful and strong.For the innermost curve of the rim, the inner part of the bamboo is used, since bending the skin inward could cause it to crack. The smaller the diameter of a circular type, the more difficult this rim work becomes.From above, the refined finish is evident, with Tsudura-fuji vines at the rim serving as an accent.Looking at the base, there are bamboo strips set in an X-shape for reinforcement, along with four additional braces on the sides.The four corners, prone to damage, are protected by these braces.The interior base measures about 4.72″ square.Here is the impression of its size when held.It also works well as a wastebasket, and simply placing it in a room gives it presence.It is also lovely when filled with wildflowers or branches,with basket and flowers enhancing each other.
The maker, Mr. Kiriyama, says: “Please do not put it away. The best thing is to use it every day.”
No matter how long you look at it, you will never tire of its form. Sometimes as a flower vessel, sometimes as an interior piece in itself, it is a basket to be enjoyed every day.
Please note that the color of green bamboo may vary depending on when it was harvested and the condition of the material. Some pieces may have a deeper green tone, while others may appear lighter or slightly yellowish. We kindly ask for your understanding that returns cannot be accepted for this reason.
About the Bamboo Baskets by Hiromi Kiriyama
Each basket begins with carefully selected Green Bamboo or Tsudura-fuji vines. From harvesting and preparing the materials to weaving the basket itself, every step is approached with attentiveness and precision.
Mr. Kiriyama creates baskets with a clear sense of proportion and balance, while always considering how the piece will fit naturally into everyday life.
These finely crafted baskets, made from polished Green Bamboo and Tsudura-fuji, combine a quiet strength with refined design.
Their finish reflects the high level of skill unique to his workshop. The variety of sizes and shapes has also evolved by listening to the voices of those who use them.
One of the pleasures of these baskets is watching their fresh green gradually deepen into a warm amber hue over time.
Beyond their exceptional quality, each piece is designed to be practical. They are baskets meant to accompany daily life for many years to come.
