Matsunoya Ibaraki Prefecture Madake Bracken Basket (Small)

The "warabikago" is a basket woven from finely split madake bamboo from Ibaraki Prefecture.
As its name suggests, it is a tool born from daily life, used since ancient times for harvesting wild vegetables and mushrooms. Every step of its creation is carefully done by hand.








The bottom is square for stability, and the body has a beautiful curve for easy carrying. The handles are woven from the bottom up to ensure durability when carrying heavy items.




As natural materials are used, the bamboo colors may vary, but over time they will age into a beautiful golden hue.




Black spots may be seen on the surface of the bamboo, but please understand that these are not mold. Also, the appearance will vary depending on the part of the bamboo used, but please understand this as a characteristic of natural materials.




Even for baskets of the same size, there may be slight differences in size depending on the weaver. We have listed the average size. Thank you for your understanding.




Fine details have been added, such as making the parts that touch the hands thicker, for ease of holding.




These beautifully woven madake bamboo baskets are not only great for the kitchen but also make lovely storage baskets.
Sometimes, it's nice to take them out with a bento lunch and a water bottle.
