This basket, named the “Compote Basket,” is woven from shaved strips of green bamboo. Its sharply cinched shape immediately catches the eye.
Mr. Kiriyama often shapes his work in response to customers’ requests, but for this compote basket he said, “I love this form and simply wanted to make it.” It is one of his heartfelt creations.
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. Over time, it gradually changes into a warm amber color, evenly and beautifully.
On the back of the basket, a single piece of smoked bamboo is discreetly inserted. This is a mark shared between Mr. Kiriyama and the user, showing the “front” of the basket. When displaying it, place this smoked bamboo at the front.
Mr. Kiriyama has said that making bamboo baskets is “sometimes something where you may even be conscious of the universe.” Looking at this basket, you can truly feel that.
No matter how long you gaze at it, you never grow tired. Who would have thought you might imagine the universe from a basket? Yet from this piece, you may sense the maker’s vision of the “depths of creation.”
Unlike any other, this compote basket of green bamboo also offers the pleasure of aging gracefully over time. Placed in a room, it will surely become something you find yourself gazing at each day.
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.
