A handmade bamboo basket from Iwate Prefecture.
Its unique shape, round when viewed from above and square when viewed from below, was once used as a sieve to separate charcoal from ash. Today, due to its convenient depth and easy-to-handle bamboo properties, it is a popular basket for storing vegetables and fruits, and as a dish basket. 
Bamboo craftsmanship has been passed down for a long time as a winter handicraft. It is a simple yet elegant and practical household tool. Weaving with a consistent gap requires skill, and each item is handmade, so the details and finish vary slightly.
It is an item that conveys the warmth of handmade craftsmanship. 
With its open weave and excellent breathability, it is recommended for storing vegetables, dishcloths, small items, or even as a decorative pot holder.
It's a versatile basket that can also be used for sewing tools, organizing boxes, and many other things. The aging process, where the color and luster increase with use, is another joy of owning it. 
Sasa bamboo is known for its resistance to water and cold, excellent breathability, and slight depth.
It is flexible and durable, drains well, and can be easily wiped dry even after being washed thoroughly, making it convenient for everyday use around water. 
With its depth, it can be used for storing vegetables and fruits, or as a dish basket. You can enjoy the unique aging process of bamboo.
