oval basket S

This is a truly wonderful product. I ordered two in fact--one for the moisturizer and eye cream (inside my bedside table drawer), the other for keys and a small wallet (inside the coat closet). In both cases, the beautiful craftsmanship elevates the otherwise very ordinary space. It feels truly luxurious to have such high quality items as part of my daily life, and I thank the 1basketry store for making them available to me overseas.

This is a handwoven basket made from Akebi vine.

The bark that naturally covers the surface of the vine is left intact, giving the basket a warm and rustic character.
Its charm lies in the unrefined, organic beauty of the material just as it is found in nature.

In Nagano, there are also baskets made from gray Akebi vine,
known as Muki Akebi, in which the bark is removed before weaving.

On this page, we introduce five sizes: Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large.

It is woven using the Sukashi-ami, a traditional open-weave technique often used in Akebi crafts. In regions like Aomori, this technique is also known as Kodashi-ami. The open weave is so airy that you can see right through the basket.
It’s a signature method in Akebi weaving, made possible by the vine’s unique combination of flexibility and resilience.
The weave is both strong and smooth.
Here is the rim of the basket. It is firmly and cleanly constructed.
The rim is finished in a style called Yahazu-maki, named after the fletching on an arrow. It is a strong method of binding the rim by wrapping the vine from both sides and securing it inward.
Each strand is finished smoothly, with minimal steps or unevenness.
The base is finished in a tight Nami-ami, giving it a firm, structured feel.
Now, let us introduce each size.
This is the Extra Small size.
A compact basket that fits easily in both hands.
Ideal for keeping small everyday items like hand cream or eye drops close at hand.
This is the Small size.
Perfect for storing a set of coffee or tea essentials.
Also just the right size for organizing stationery or other small items.
This is the Medium size.
Large enough to cradle in both arms.
Useful for sorting towels, stoles, or other fabrics.
Also great for storing dry goods or snacks in generous amounts.
This is the Large size.
Fits perfectly as a laundry basket for one person.
Or keep it beside the sofa or bed with a blanket tucked inside.
And finally, this is the Extra Large size—the biggest one of all.
It’s well sized for a laundry basket for one or two people.
Spacious enough for storing seasonal bedding like large mats, rugs, or sheets for wardrobe changes.
Having just one of these brings a reassuring presence to your home.

The Akebi vines retain their natural texture and coloring,
just as they were harvested wild from the mountains.

Since the thickness of each vine varies, even when woven in the same way,
thicker vines will result in a larger basket, while thinner vines will produce a smaller one.

These oval baskets are made freehand, without a mold,
so size variations are a natural part of the process.
We kindly ask for your understanding.

Extra Large size

Its soft gradation of earthy tones and calm coloring give the basket a quiet sense of character.
You could look at it endlessly and still find peace and warmth in its presence.

Small size

It makes a striking interior piece simply placed in a room.

Medium size

With its impressively solid construction,
this basket offers lasting stability—one that may stay by your side for decades to come.

Please choose the size that suits your needs.

_Akebi Vine Basketry from Northern Nagano_

In Nagano, since the early Edo period, people have crafted baskets, toys, and other daily tools
as winter work during the region’s long, snow-filled months.

There are two types of Akebi vine used in basketry:
one with its natural bark intact—a warm brown color—
and another called Muki Akebi, a grayish vine that has been peeled after fermentation.

While Akebi vine craft is also found in parts of Tohoku such as Aomori, Akita, Yamagata, and Niigata,
Muki Akebi basketry is a tradition that continues only in this region.

Before weaving begins, the vines are soaked in hot spring water for about a week,
then fermented in river water for around a month before the bark is carefully removed.

It is said that in the past, all Akebi baskets in northern Nagano were made exclusively from Muki Akebi.

This material requires great time and effort before it can even be woven,
but the baskets that emerge from it carry a quiet depth—something only this land can produce.

Both Akebi and Muki Akebi vines are carefully selected for quality,
and skilled hands continue to craft them into a wide variety of beautiful forms.
