Crafted from young bamboo culms harvested in Oita Prefecture, this black and natural-hued basket undergoes over ten meticulous stepsâfrom initial cutting to the final, artful weaveâyielding a piece that marries natural warmth with refined elegance. The ultra-fine bamboo slivers are woven with remarkable precision, their interlacing gaps tapering seamlessly from top to bottom. The result is a composition of effortless harmony.
The form is inspired by the teppatsuâthe black iron bowl Buddhist monks carry during alms roundsâimbuing the piece with a timeless, classical elegance. In Japanese culture, bambooâs rapid, upright growth symbolizes prosperity. Handcrafted from natural bamboo strips that exude a warm, tactile charmâeach edge gently rounded for comfortâthis piece lets light filter through its weave, casting dappled shadows that bring organic elegance to your table.Â
Beyond its use as a basket for fruits or bread, this versatile piece also doubles as an elegant tray, seamlessly pairing with an array of sauce plates and kobachi small bowls.
