This is a handled basket woven 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 the “Slim Basket with Handle.”
From the front view, it is woven in the gozame-ami technique, with thin horizontal strips worked around the vertical ribs. Short pieces of dark smoked bamboo are also inserted as accents.You can see how carefully and powerfully it has been woven. Wherever you touch it, the bamboo feels so smooth you almost forget it could ever splinter. The balanced wrapping of Tsudura-fuji vines along the rim gives the basket a crisp finish.
Its tall, vertical, and straightforward silhouette has a clean and elegant presence.
It can serve as a capacious hand basket, easily fitting a water bottle.
As a shopping basket, its slim shape takes up little space, making it practical even in small shops or narrow aisles, while still holding a generous amount.
Because the opening is wide, we recommend covering it with cloth. Adding a scarf or bandana to the handle can also give it a cheerful touch.
Indoors, it can be used as a portable storage basket, or combined with flowers as a flower basket.
Whether in the living room or outdoors, it is sure to be a reliable basket with a solid presence.
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.
