This is a distinctively shaped basket woven from shaved strips of green bamboo. With two handles and a wide opening, it is named the “Double-Handled Wide-Opening Basket.”
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 hard enamel-like outer surface is removed, giving the bamboo a softer look and a glossy, enhanced beauty.
Over time, it gradually changes into a warm amber color, evenly and beautifully.
The flared shape and the line of smoked bamboo running across the front make a striking impression.Smoked bamboo is created by being exposed to the smoke of hearths in thatched-roof houses over a hundred years old.On the back of the basket, a wide strip of green bamboo runs down the center.The rim is finished by wrapping shaved bamboo strips.Seen from above, the basket reveals a precise weave that seems to draw you in, with the moonseed vines of the handles adding definition to the colors.It can be used as a basket for clothes, such as pajamas or garments you have taken off.Or even as a luxurious wastebasket—its mere presence in a room makes a statement.
The maker told us, “Please don’t put it away. The best thing is to use it every day.”
No matter how long you look at it, you never tire of it.
Inspired by European willow baskets, this piece is sure to bring color and charm to your space and daily life.
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.
