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 the “Square Living Basket with Lid.”





Its square form has a charming character,
while the dark brown smoked bamboo strip running vertically along the front adds depth.
The lid itself can also be used as a tray—whether separately in another place or as a cover on the basket.
For example, you might keep a blanket or a book-in-progress in the main basket,
while using the lid as a tray for glasses, cream, or your phone.
Placed a bit higher, it can also conceal what’s inside while functioning as interior décor.
The square shape makes storage easier and allows it to fit neatly into spaces within a room.
We hope you will enjoy using it daily, keeping it within easy reach.

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.
