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 “Slim Basket with Lid.”








The slim shape is comfortable on the arm and stays unobtrusive.
With the lid, it feels secure for city strolls.
The broad expanse of woven bamboo will also draw attention.





To close, press the lid down gently; it will settle with a pleasant click.

This slim, tall basket has a refined look.
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 it.
Though tall, it is very light because it is woven from bamboo,
and its slim shape takes up little space on trains or buses.
At times, you can remove the lid and use it casually as an open basket.
Please check the dimensions carefully before 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.
