Description

Crafted from young bamboo culms harvested in Oita Prefecture, this naturally hued bamboo basket undergoes over ten meticulous steps—from initial cutting to the final, artful weave—yielding a piece that marries natural warmth with refined elegance. The ultra-fine bamboo slivers are woven with remarkable precision, their interlacing gaps tapering seamlessly from top to bottom. The result is a composition of effortless harmony.

The form is inspired by the teppatsu—the black iron bowl Buddhist monks carry during alms rounds—imbuing the piece with a timeless, classical elegance. In Japanese culture, bamboo’s rapid, upright growth symbolizes prosperity. Handcrafted from natural bamboo strips that exude a warm, tactile charm—each edge gently rounded for comfort—this piece lets light filter through its weave, casting dappled shadows that bring organic elegance to your table. 

Beyond its use as a basket for fruits or bread, this versatile piece also doubles as an elegant tray, seamlessly pairing with an array of sauce plates and kobachi small bowls.

Bamboo has been actively planted throughout Japan for centuries. Flexible, strong, and versatile, bamboo is an indispensable part of Japanese culture and daily life.

The plant plays a crucial role in Japanese tableware, used as the base material for chopsticks, tea ceremony tools, and lightweight, portable items like baskets and bento boxes.

Young bamboo can match the height of mature bamboo in just three months, and completes its growth in just three years, making it a permanently replenishing natural resource.
