This is the Lunch Basket series, made from green bamboo and Tsudura-fuji vines.
We introduce two types.
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.


















Among Mr. Kiriyama’s works, these are relatively small in scale, making them easy to use as a first bamboo basket.
Though named a Lunch Basket, they can also be used like a handbag.
Every part of the basket feels smooth to the touch—enough to forget that bamboo can splinter.
While fresh it is a vivid green, over the years it will turn into a warm amber tone.


Although it gains weight when filled with lunches,
the rim, handle, and base are all firmly built, providing enough strength to support the load.
This basket will become closely tied to daily life, staying by your side for decades.
Please choose the type you prefer.

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.
About the Bamboo Baskets by Hiromi Kiriyama
Each basket begins with carefully selected Green Bamboo or Tsudura-fuji vines.
From harvesting and preparing the materials to weaving the basket itself,
every step is approached with attentiveness and precision.
Mr. Kiriyama creates baskets with a clear sense of proportion and balance,
while always considering how the piece will fit naturally into everyday life.
These finely crafted baskets, made from polished Green Bamboo and Tsudura-fuji,
combine a quiet strength with refined design.
Their finish reflects the high level of skill unique to his workshop.
The variety of sizes and shapes has also evolved by listening to the voices of those who use them.
One of the pleasures of these baskets is watching their fresh green gradually deepen
into a warm amber hue over time.
Beyond their exceptional quality, each piece is designed to be practical.
They are baskets meant to accompany daily life for many years to come.
