Black Hexagon Weave Bamboo Basket with Lid

This bamboo basket is crafted from fine natural bamboo strips finished with a black coating, combining breathability with functionality. The body and lid feature a hexagonal weave, while wider bamboo strips are tightly woven across the base to create a sturdy foundation for everyday use.

Line it with parchment paper or cloth to serve wagashi, teatime treats, and more. The dark finish beautifully contrasts with colorful sweets, making it especially well suited to summer tables yet elegant year-round. It also works as a fruit basket or for displaying small decorative items.

The rim is reinforced for lasting durability, while the fitted lid keeps the contents neatly covered. Light and easy to handle, it brings a clean, composed presence to a table or countertop.

Available in two sizes, you can choose the one that best suits your needs.
