These are baskets with handle woven from Akebi vine.
We named it “Wing” because of its shape.
Available in two sizes: small and large.
Akebi vines have retained their original texture as they grew wild in the mountains.
The natural gradation of colors and soothing hues will never get old no matter how much you look at them.
They make us feel calm and relaxed.
Used as a going-out and shopping basket, or simply left in a room, it makes a striking interior design.
It is a solid and sturdy basket that will surely stay with you for decades to come.
–Akebi vine work in northern Nagano Prefecture–
More than 300 years ago, people in Nagano Pref. have made baskets, toys, and other daily utensils.
There are 2 types of Akebi vine work produced in northern Nagano Pref.
The one is “Brown Akebi vine”, just as they are in nature.
The other is “Gray Akebi vine”,
which is soaked in hot spring water for about a week,
then soaked in a river for about a month to ferment, the outer skin is then peeled off.
For both types of vines, only high-quality materials are carefully selected,
and they continue to produce baskets in a variety of shapes using advanced weaving techniques.
