This is a lunch basket woven from Suzu bamboo.
Even the same Suzu bamboo Lunch basket can be finished differently depending on the maker,
so we have divided it into two types: [A type] and [B type].
This page introduces Type B.
Among the Suzu bamboo crafts, the form in which a body basket and a lid basket are each made,
and then the two are covered with each other requires particularly advanced techniques.
You can place the rice balls directly into the basket without wrapping them in plastic wrap or foil.
May also use a cookie sheet or other similar material,
depending on your preference and the foods you wish to include.
This time, we put a cookie sheet on the bottom and sides
and stuffed it in there.
Please be careful with moist side dishes and fruits, as water may leak through the weave at the bottom of the basket, even if a sheet or other covering is placed.
It is also good to use it as a container for small items or to use the two baskets separately.
Suzu bamboo is characterized by the glossy luster of its outer skin, its soft and elastic texture, and its durability.
The yellow color gradually changes to an amber color as it ages.
It is such an excellent material that even after it has been used and turned amber color,
the outer skin becomes shiny when washed in water.
Please choose the size you prefer.
—Suzu bamboo baskets in Iwate Prefecture—
Suzu bamboo found north area of Iwate pref. is said to be particularly strong and flexible.
Suzu bamboo crafts have been made with this bamboo for more than 1,000 years.
However, since around 2015, Suzu bamboo has been dying all over Iwate Prefecture for several years.
Suzu bamboo crafts are now more precious than ever,
as it has become more and more difficult to gather high-quality Suzu bamboo for use as material.
Suzu bamboo is said to die after blooming small yellow flowers when it reaches the end of its life span, and after the bamboo withers,
which is said to occur once every 120 years.
It is said to take 10 to 20 years for the young shoots to grow tall enough to be used for bamboo crafts.
This was an inexperienced situation even for the makers
who have been involved in Suzu bamboo crafts for many years.
Nevertheless, they have continued their traditional crafts by carefully walking in the mountains
and using only a tenth of the amount of Suzu bamboo that is normally harvested.
