This large basket, made from green bamboo and Tsudura-fuji vines,
measures about 22.83″ in width.

Green bamboo refers to Madake bamboo freshly cut while still retaining its natural green color.
This basket is woven with strips of green bamboo whose outer skin has been shaved thin.

By shaving the outer skin, the hard enamel-like layer is removed, giving the surface a softer appearance.
It also adds a natural sheen, enhancing its beauty.
Another characteristic is the way it gradually changes over time, turning evenly into a warm amber color.

The rim is fastened with Tsudura-fuji vines, adding an accent to the finish.

From the base it gently widens toward the opening, a soft curve that is said to be difficult to maintain.

It has a solid size and offers plenty of capacity.

Placed in the living room, it can hold large blankets and cushions, or serve as a home for magazines and newspapers.

Not only at home—imagine how impressive it would look in a restaurant, guesthouse, or hotel lobby,
where such a substantial and authentic basket could make a statement.

Large baskets made from Madake bamboo often tend to be hard and rough.
Yet this basket, even at its size, retains a smooth finish.

Seen both from the side and from above,
its soft curves give it not only an impressive presence due to its size but also a sense of charm.

Over the years, this large basket will gradually take on an amber tone,
adding luster and becoming a renewed presence in your space.
I hope you will spend many years together with this piece, letting it quietly accompany your daily life.

Please note that the color of green bamboo may vary depending on when it was harvested and the condition of the material.
Some pieces may have a deeper green tone, while others may appear lighter or slightly yellowish.
We kindly ask for your understanding that returns cannot be accepted for this reason.
