This basket is made entirely from Madake bamboo.

This basket is named “Compote Basket”.
Like a serving table, the tight, narrow waist shape is striking.

Mr. Kiriyama often takes requests from customers and gives them shape.
But with this compote basket, he says, “I love the shape of this basket, and I wanted to make it.”

This basket is woven with strips of thinly peeled strips of the hard enamel outer skin of the bamboo.
This process allows the color to change over time to a deeper amber color and shines with a glossy appearance.

“Caution”
At the time this photo was taken, the green color of the bamboo remains,
but this green will soon fade and turn to yellow and amber color.
Please note that the color may change from the photo when you receive the product.

Mr. Kiriyama says,
“I sometimes make bamboo baskets with an awareness of even the universe.”
Staring at this basket, there is something that makes us feel exactly that.

No matter how much you look at it, you will never get tired of looking at it.
We never thought we would imagine the cosmos from a basket.
But this basket may allow us to touch the “Abyss of craftsmanship” as the creator sees it.

This one-of-a-kind Madake bamboo compote basket is sure to age well.
If it were in your room, you would surely gaze at this enchanting basket day after day.
