This is a serving basket made from green bamboo. It is named for its yotsume-ami base, a weave that creates a square pattern.
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.
The entire basket is woven carefully and with strength.The beauty of the continuous rolled rim is captivating.The base is woven in yotsume-ami, forming neat squares.It is a generously sized basket with plenty of capacity.
The round, wide opening makes it easy to put things in and take them out. It is ideal for holding fruit, keeping sweets, or storing small items.
You can also place bowls or glassware upside down in it.
It is not recommended to use it as a draining basket for wet dishes. Bamboo absorbs water, and if left damp, it may cause mold.
After washing dishes, it works well to place them here once they have been wiped with a cloth and allowed to dry a little more.
The fresh green of a newly made basket is appealing, but its gradual change to amber with use is also full of charm.
On the right is a basket of nearly the same shape that has been used for over twenty years. Its amber color is beautifully matured.The aging of the base and the interior also brings a calm and graceful atmosphere.
We hope you will enjoy these transitions, changing together with the basket.
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.
