These baskets with handles are woven from Akebi vine.
The bottom is square, but the mouth is round.
This type of basket is available in three sizes: small, medium, and large.
All sizes give the impression of creating a good atmosphere just by placing a basket there.
It is interesting to note that the handles are higher than the flat part of the basket alone,
which makes the basket more than just a container, but also develops into an interior design.
Nice to put a glass or ceramic filled with water and put flowers in it.
Also, the medium and large sizes could be used as a basket bag for outings.
Enjoy it in your favorite place and usage.
Please choose one of the following sizes: small, medium, or large.
–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.
