This basket is made from white bamboo and features a footed design.
White bamboo refers to green madake (Japanese timber bamboo) that has been harvested from the mountains, then boiled or sun-dried to draw out its natural oils and mellow its color. The result is a pale, slightly golden bamboo with a refined, even tone.
Its shape is distinctive—with four small legs, a slim and tapered base, and a gently flared top that widens toward the rim.
The maker of this basket once spent time working in Nepal, and the piece carries with it a subtle sense of Asia. Because of this quiet influence, we’ve named it “Oriental.”
This page introduces the “Oriental” Footed Basket in two sizes: Small and Large.
The basket is woven so that the glossy outer skin of the white bamboo faces outward. When touched, the surface feels smooth and gentle in the hand.The square openings in the weave gradually increase in size from the bottom to the top, giving the basket a light and airy impression.Here is the rim. In most white bamboo work, the rim is typically wrapped with rattan, but in this piece, it is finished entirely with bamboo. It is wrapped in two layers—first with the softer inner fibers, and then a second time with the bamboo’s outer skin, in the opposite direction.This rim detail, which looks almost decorative, also contributes to the basket’s distinctly Eastern character.Here is the underside of the basket. The weave is tightly packed at the base, so nothing will fall through—making it suitable even as a wastebasket. Reinforcing strips called chikaradake are inserted, adding extra stability.And now to the defining feature of this basket: the legs. Thicker bamboo strips are inserted at each of the four corners.The weave spreads out gradually in a radial pattern, which is endlessly satisfying to look at.When caught by natural or indoor light, the luster of the white bamboo has a striking beauty that invites quiet admiration. The shadows and silhouettes cast by the basket’s weave also add a layer of depth and character.This is the small size.It works well as a wastebasket in the living room or bedroom.The wide opening at the top makes it easy to place things in and take them out.This is the large size.It’s great for storing produce like potatoes and onions, or for holding fruit.You can also place a glass container inside and use it as a seasonal flower basket.
White bamboo has a calm tone with a soft brightness and freshness, making it an excellent backdrop for flowers and greenery— bringing out their beauty and adding a sense of elegance.
Though the basket is named “Oriental,” it pairs beautifully with both Japanese wildflowers and Western blooms.
Place it by the entryway as a welcoming touch, or use it as a subtle accent in your living room decor.
An elegant basket with a calm, dignified presence—this is the “Oriental” style.
With its four small feet and gently spreading weave around the rim, it feels airy and open.
Good airflow is always welcome in a basket— it helps keep stored produce fresh and well-ventilated.
Firmly grounded and wide open at the top, the basket gives the impression of someone standing with both feet planted and arms outstretched—there’s something quietly charming about it.

From Beppu, back home—with bamboo craft
In Beppu City, Ōita Prefecture, there is a vocational training center dedicated to bamboo craftsmanship. Each year, about ten new artisans set out from here, carrying with them the skills and spirit of the craft.
Students come from all walks of life, spanning a wide range of ages and backgrounds, each drawn to the world of bamboo for their own reasons.
One such craftsperson trained here after years of living and working between Nepal and Japan. Since graduating, they have continued their practice in Ōita, handling not only the weaving but also the preparation of their own materials— harvesting fresh green bamboo and processing it into white bamboo, before beginning each basket.
