This is a lidded basket handwoven from strips of green bamboo with the outer skin shaved away.
Green bamboo refers to Madake bamboo freshly cut while still retaining its natural green color.
By shaving, the hard enamel-like outer surface is removed, giving the bamboo a softer look and a glossy, enhanced beauty.
The soft sheen that emerges carries calmness and dignity, and over time it gradually turns a clear, even amber.
On this page, we introduce a basket called Treasure Basket.
It is woven in gozame-ami, where thin horizontal strips are interlaced around sturdy vertical ribs. Though small enough to rest in both hands, its workmanship is as meticulous as that of larger baskets.You can see how carefully, and at the same time powerfully, it has been woven. Wherever you touch it, the bamboo feels so smooth that you forget it could ever splinter.
Charming at a glance, it’s the kind of basket that makes you think the basket itself is a little treasure.
Originally, Mr. Kiriyama made this piece by request as a basket for storing a handmade mechanical wristwatch. It was created as a very small lidded basket to hold what the owner considers a personal treasure.
When opening the lid, slip your fingers under the rim and lift lightly so it pops up. (The photo shows the “Slim Basket with Lid,” which has the same lid structure.) To close it, press the lid down gently; it will settle with a pleasant click.
One advantage of a lidded basket is that it reduces dust while allowing gentle airflow—so you can keep it out on a table or shelf.
Instead of leaving cherished items directly on a table or counter, why not keep them in a compact basket like this?
Use it for a favorite wristwatch or small accessories.
If you love music, it can hold guitar picks, an earphone set, Pins and badges you collect can be kept here as well.
The pleasant feel of opening and closing the lid, and the way the bamboo gradually turns amber with age, are part of the joy of owning this basket.
As this is a small size, please check the dimensions carefully when choosing.
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.
