This is a handled basket handwoven from Madake (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.
On this page, we introduce a basket named “Table Basket with Round Handle.”
It is made with gozame-ami (mat weave), where sturdy vertical strips run through the basket and thin horizontal strips are woven around them.Although modest in size, you can see that each strip has been carefully polished and the basket woven both delicately and with strength. Wherever you touch it, the surface is so smooth that you may forget bamboo is something that usually splinters.The rim is firmly wrapped with Tsudura-fuji vines at regular intervals, serving also as an accent for the entire basket.The handle is also wrapped with Tsudura-fuji vines, making it easy to grip and gentle to the touch.
The large, arching handle leaves a strong impression.
It is said that the handle and overall form of this basket were inspired by the “square bowl with handle” found in Oribe ware, a style of pottery born in the Tōnō region of Gifu Prefecture, known as the production area of Mino ware.
Place it in the kitchen or on the dining table, using it as a basket for sweets, tea bags, or fruits.
You may also keep a small set of teaware for Taiwanese tea, or arrange several sake cups and small plates for evening drinks, choosing one according to your mood of the day.
It can just as well hold hand cream or cosmetics, and serve as a place for your glasses, smartphone, or wristwatch.
Another way to enjoy it is as a harvest basket for kitchen gardens or gardening.
This compact handled basket can be carried with ease. I hope it will become a reliable basket you can turn to 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.
