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.
With a refreshing pattern of interlocking squares, the weaving forms a softly rounded silhouette.
On this page, we introduce serving trays made from white bamboo.
The tray is woven so that the lustrous outer surface of the white bamboo is visible when viewed from above. When touched, it offers a smooth, sleek feel along with a soft, gentle texture.The white bamboo strips are paired two by two and woven together, forming a regular, continuous pattern of squares.The rim of the tray is made by sandwiching the weave between thick bamboo strips, then wrapping it tightly and seamlessly with rattan to secure it.Viewed from above, the corners of the rim are finished with a smooth curve on both the small and large sizes.Beneath the rim, the weave is wide open, yet the finish is firm and solid, leaving no cause for concern.This is the underside of the basket. The materials are prepared with such care that even the back surface gleams and reflects light when it catches the sun.You can also use it to serve light, crispy rice snacks—such as senbei or bite-sized arare—for a delightful touch to your table. Perfect for casual gatherings or a relaxing teatime.It’s also perfect for presenting Western sweets—think crisp cookies, petite canelés, or other bite-sized treats—adding a charming touch to your tea or coffee time.
It also works beautifully as a bread basket for your breakfast table—one of our favorite ways to use it.
The large size can comfortably hold enough bread for about two people.The fresh, clean color and neat weave of white bamboo pair beautifully with bread.
When you hold this basket in your hands, you’ll likely notice that it is crafted far more solidly and sturdily than it appears. The artisan who made it has trained extensively and possesses exceptional skill, so you can use it with complete confidence.
With its calm yet fresh and uplifting color, a white bamboo basket instantly brightens your dining table.
The open weave also allows the heat from freshly baked bread to escape, helping it stay crisp and airy—something an ordinary plate can’t quite achieve.
This serving tray is perfect for presenting any type of treat—whether Western or Japanese sweets, or even a variety of dishes. Try placing your favorite snacks or seasonal fruits on it and enjoy.
It would also make a charming catch-all basket for important items such as your watch, phone, or glasses. You could even place it near the entrance to hold your keys.
As the years pass, the color deepens into a warm amber hue, and with a gentle scrub using water or hot water and a tawashi brush, its luster returns—even after a long time. This graceful transformation is one of bamboo’s greatest charms.
Please take a look at the sizes and pick the one you like best.
Work at a Welfare Facility and Bamboo – Continuing the Journey
In Beppu City, Oita Prefecture, there is a vocational training center dedicated to bamboo craft. Each year, about ten students graduate and begin their own paths as bamboo artisans.
The people who come here vary widely in age, background, and reasons for entering the world of bamboo weaving, each carrying their own story.
The artisan featured here worked for many years at a welfare facility before deciding to study bamboo craft at the vocational training center.
