Willow basket bags are handwoven with care, using branches that are either cultivated and harvested by the artisans themselves or carefully selected and sourced from trusted regions.

The appearance varies depending on the type and finish — some retain their dark outer bark, while others reveal a soft, light surface when peeled.

Flexible yet resilient, willow branches are strong against bending and twisting, making them reliable for many weaving techniques, including openwork designs.

As willow is a material traditionally used in Europe, some bags are larger in size than typical Japanese baskets.

Ideal for daily use or outings with plenty to carry, they also make beautiful interior storage baskets.

Because each piece is made from natural materials, slight variations in color, bark texture, or small knots may occur. When storing fabrics, we recommend using an inner cloth.
