Cutlery Basket with Handle Small / Madake Bamboo / Oita-JPN 220622-3 大分県/真竹(青竹) 手つきカトラリーバスケット 小 ルイ版
This is a small Cutlery Basket with Handle, made from green bamboo and Tsudura-fuji vines.
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.
Although small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, its construction is no different from that of larger baskets.In fact, its small size makes the craftsmanship feel even more elaborate, as if requiring extra care.Here is the rim. A bamboo strip runs around it and is secured with Tsudura-fuji vines.The Tsudura-fuji vines work beautifully as an accent.The essential parts—the handle, rim, and base—are firmly made, so of course it can be used practically.Its miniature size is so charming that it brings a smile to your face.It is just the right size for dessert spoons, forks, or chopstick rests.It also makes a delightful basket for children—holding toys, or treasures like nuts and seashells they collect.
It can also be used for spices or condiments in small bottles, or as a holder for pens, staplers, and other stationery.
With daily use, it will gradually change to a warm amber color. As its tone and texture evolve, the basket reveals new expressions and deeper character.
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.
