This basket, named the “Bathhouse Basket,” is made from green bamboo and Tsudura-fuji vines.
It is a basket used for carrying towels, soap, and other items when going to the public bath or hot spring.

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.









This basket also features a tassel made from smoked bamboo.
Smoked bamboo is created by exposure to the smoke of hearths in thatched-roof houses over a hundred years old.
Here, Mr. Kiriyama, who also works in woodcraft, has shaped it into a sharp, distinctive tassel.

As you use it daily, the bamboo gradually turns amber, and its expression changes with the color.

Of course, it can be used as a bathhouse basket,
but also as a hand-carry basket for outings, or even as a flower basket at home.
With its handy size, this Bathhouse Basket is sure to become a reliable companion in 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.
