This is the large size of the “Lunch Basket,” made from 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.
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 handles are secured with Tsudura-fuji vines, adding an accent.
Depending on the material of the Tsudura-fuji vines and the maker’s process, the joint with the handle may or may not have an X-shaped vine wrap. Returns cannot be accepted for this difference. Items will be shipped as they arrive, so please understand in advance.The vines may show peeling of the outer skin as seen here, but this is not a defect. Please note that it is a characteristic of natural materials.
Seen from the short side, its rounded form gives it a charming presence. While Mr. Kiriyama’s baskets often convey a solid impression due to the hardness of green bamboo, there are also pieces like this that trace gentle curves.
Here, the basket holds lunch for two people (lunch boxes and soup jars). Replacing the soup jar with another lunch box, it could hold meals for three to four people.
Fill this basket with lunch and take it to the office, to school, or to the park. It will make everyday mealtime something to look forward to.
The handles are aligned parallel to the long sides, so your arms move naturally as you walk. This makes it easy to carry.
It also serves well as a daily work bag or for outings.
Over time, the bamboo changes color. Please enjoy this natural transformation as well.
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.
