This handled basket is made from green Madake bamboo and Tsudura-fuji vines. From the “Side Basket Series,” square-shaped when viewed from above, we introduce two sizes here: small and medium, both with lids.
Medium size
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.
By shaving the outer skin, the hard enamel-like layer is removed, giving the surface a softer appearance. It also adds a natural sheen, enhancing its beauty. Another characteristic is the way it gradually changes over time, turning evenly into a warm amber color.
The rim and handle are secured with Tsudura-fuji vines, adding an accent to the finish.
The entire basket is woven carefully and with strength.It is made with the gozame-ami technique, in which thin strips are regularly woven around the vertical ribs.The rim is finished with shaved bamboo strips and Tsudura-fuji vines, giving a result that is both beautiful and strong.Seen from above, the refined finish is clear, with the hard bamboo neatly bent into shape.The basket body and the handles are secured with bamboo nails, and also tightly bound with Tsudura-fuji vines.The handles are made from three bamboo strips, bound at the center with Tsudura-fuji vines.Looking at the base, there are bamboo strips in an X-shape for reinforcement, along with four additional braces set into the sides.In both sizes, the inner bottom is finished with the ikada-bottom style. This method is often used for baskets meant to hold heavy items, so you may use it with confidence.Here is the basket with the lid removed.This is the lid.The base of the lid is woven in the yotsume-ami style, and even though shallow, it is as solidly made as the body.Turn it over, and you will be surprised to see that the lid, like the body, is reinforced firmly at the base.As you can see, peeling of the surface of the Tsudura-fuji vines may occur, but this is not a defect. Please note in advance.
Now, let us introduce each size.
This is the small size.This is the lid of the small size.This is the medium size.This is the lid of the medium size.
As the name “Side Basket” suggests, it is convenient to place beside a sofa or bed— holding books or magazines you want to read, or creams and other care items. The lid can serve as a place to set glasses or a mobile phone.
Some people also use it for tea utensils, tea sets, or as a sewing box. It can just as well be carried outside as a basket, holding lunches while the lid is used as a plate or tray.
Here is the small size.This is the medium size.
Once you start thinking, many possible scenes of use come to mind. Surely it will accompany daily life in many ways.
Please check the dimensions and choose the size you prefer.
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.
