This is a paper waste basket made of “White bamboo”.

The White bamboo is made from the Madake bamboo.
The Madake bamboo is then roasted, boiled, or otherwise heat-treated,
then dried in the sun to remove the oils and moisture from the bamboo
and also to bleach its original green color, thus producing the White bamboo.

In fact, it is yellow in color, but in the world of Japanese bamboo crafts, this bamboo is called “White bamboo”.

If you just want to put in dry paper scraps, you don’t need to put a plastic bag inside.

It can be placed in a bedroom or living room.
It also has a nice atmosphere when placed on the tatami mats in a Japanese-style room.
The color fits well in any room.

When it gets dirty, please wash it with water using a scrubbing brush.
Drain the water well and dry it in the shade to restore its gloss.

This woven pattern allows the beauty of White bamboo to be fully appreciated.
Even with nothing in it, it is pleasing enough to the eye.

The square wastepaper basket from bamboo is rare and few people are making them these days.
It has a calm appearance that matches any type of room.
We hope you will enjoy it in a place where you can see it every day.
