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 “Desk Basket with Handle.”
It is made with the gozame-ami technique, in which thin horizontal strips are woven around sturdy vertical ribs.Though compact in size, you can see how carefully and strongly it has been woven. Wherever you touch it, the bamboo feels so smooth you almost forget it could ever splinter.The rim is firmly bound with Tsudura-fuji vines at regular intervals, serving as an accent for the whole basket.The base is woven in yotsume-ami, forming a square pattern. (The photo shows another basket with the same weave.)
Use it as a desk organizer for stationery. It is just the right size for pens or scissors.
It also works well for sewing supplies, keeping needles and thread neatly together.
In the kitchen or dining room, you might use it for small cutlery such as dessert forks, or for serving condiments.
During teatime or drinks, it can hold just enough sweets for one sitting, or serve as a basket for sake cups and small snacks.
With a handle, it can be carried easily from place to place.
“Today, here”—it lets you enjoy working or dining in different spots, according to your mood. Its compact size makes this flexibility possible.
We hope you will enjoy using it in many different scenes.
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.
