If you have ever watched Sumō, you can imagine Sumō wrestlers throwing salt into the ring. This basket is used to contain the salt that the wrestlers throw into the ring.
In the old days, it is said that Sumō wrestling was one of the rituals to predict the year’s harvest.
The history of the ceremony dates back more than 1,500 years. The sprinkling of salt was meant to purify the sacred place where Sumō wrestlers would wrestle, and also to disinfect the wrestlers’ abrasions.
A part of our long-lasting traditional culture. This is a salt basket made of bamboo.
We have this basket made by the same craftsman who makes the salt baskets used in Sumō wrestling today.
This basket is originally used for sumo wrestling, if we consider it in the context of home use,
we can see that there are very few of these solid square small baskets in the market today.
It can be used to store a variety of items in the home.
Occasionally, due to the craftsman’s material availability, there may be black streaks or patterns on the bottom weave.
According to the craftsman, this is a slightly tanned state of the bamboo, which inevitably occurs depending on the time of year and storage conditions, and is not mold.
Please be assured that there is no problem in using the product. And please note that it is not a defective product.
It is a nice size for storing stocks of heavy items such as jam, drink bottles, cans, etc.,
or as a basket to keep handkerchiefs and hand towels together.
It’s so sturdy, your child can handle it roughly, so don’t worry!
If your child breaks it, we recommend that he or she become a Sumō wrestlers！
It is also useful for storing carrots, onions, potatoes, and other root vegetables
that are not stored in the refrigerator.
If you are concerned about mud or sand, place a sheet of paper inside the basket.
Also as a tool basket.
It can hold puzzles, card games, board games, or toys.
It is also a good size for a 5 or 6 year old child to carry around.
It is also a good idea to use square type baskets side by side on the same shelf.
The left photo shows a freshly made basket, fresh green in color.
The right photo shows a basket that has been in use for 5 to 6 years, and its color has changed over time.
The craftsman also hopes that people will enjoy using the product in their own way.
It can be used as a storage basket, in the kitchen, living room, bedroom, etc.
Please enjoy it in various scenes.
Depending on the size and purpose, please choose the shape you prefer.
