This insect cage is made from Moso bamboo.
In Hyogo Prefecture, bamboo craft has a long history.
In addition to bamboo, some artisans continue the tradition of woven crafts
using other natural materials such as koriyanagi.
At the same time, there are also craftspeople who cherish Moso bamboo—
which is not well suited for fine weaving—as an important material.
They use it for food such as bamboo shoots, for New Year’s decorations called kadomatsu,
and for making cutlery that takes advantage of its thick, dense texture.
It is said that Moso bamboo was first transplanted to Hyogo Prefecture in the late Edo period.
Its ability to spread is extremely strong—sometimes even encroaching upon other plants and human living areas.
In today’s world, Moso bamboo is sometimes treated as a nuisance.
Yet, through careful processing, it is transformed into fine bamboo strips, from which this beautiful insect cage is made.
The straight bamboo strips are aligned with precision, creating a sense of calm order when viewed.
Though crisp and structured, the warmth of the natural bamboo can still be felt.
Of course, you can enjoy it in its original way—as a cage for keeping insects you’ve caught—
but it’s also lovely as a display for miniature collections or small treasures,
creating a tiny world of your own within the basket.
A nostalgic bamboo insect cage.
You can hang it or simply place it as an interior accent.
Even when empty, it somehow evokes the gentle sound of insects.
The “Insect Cage Kit,” which allows you to make this same cage from scratch, is also available on a separate page.
If you’d like to try your hand at the craft itself, we invite you to enjoy that experience as well.
