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.

–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.
