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 Lunch Basket with Lid.”





With its slim depth compared to its width, it carries smartly without being bulky.
It is just the right size for carrying lunch for one or two people.
The form is easy for anyone to use.
For example, it works well as a couple’s outing basket with lunches packed inside.
With the lid, it feels secure for walking, or when traveling by train or bus.
On car trips, the lid can also serve as a tray for placing items like a smartphone or sunglasses.
For a single person, you can carry lunch together with all your belongings in this one basket.
When not going out, it also serves as a storage basket at home.
Its slender shape fits in without feeling imposing, making it enjoyable as interior storage.
This basket is made for daily use, both indoors and out.

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.
