Suruga Bamboo Basketry is a traditional Japanese craft with a legacy spanning over 400 years, originating from the vicinity of Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Recognized as a national traditional craft in 1976, its inception is steeped in legend, tracing back to a court aristocrat's quest for elegant baskets. Over time, it evolved to produce bait containers used in falconry, commissioned by Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, highlighting its aesthetic refinement tied to the leisure pursuits of nobility.
