Just as the cormorant fishing baskets used in Nagara River and Oze cormorant fishing are representative, traditional livelihoods have been passed down in Mino, and alongside them, tools such as bamboo baskets made locally are still used today.
[NPO Greenwood Work Association Bamboo Department]
The NPO "Greenwood Work Association Bamboo Department," which produced this bamboo basket, is engaged in "experience workshops," "bamboo forest maintenance," "research and study," "custom production," and "bamboo craft classes" with the aim of passing down and popularizing bamboo craft techniques.
The experience workshops range from 2-3 hour sessions to experience bamboo weaving, to full-fledged programs lasting 2-3 days that cover all steps from splitting green bamboo to making bamboo strips. They also offer on-site workshops.
In addition, they carry out activities such as bamboo forest maintenance to grow good bamboo material suitable for bamboo crafts, research and study of traditional bamboo craft products mainly in the Mino region, and custom production of bamboo baskets for traditional fishing and industries, such as cormorant fishing baskets.
While conveying the charm of bamboo crafts to many people, we will pass on the wisdom and skills of the Mino region to the next generation.

A firmly woven bottom.
From splitting green bamboo to making bamboo strips, every step is carefully performed by artisans. A beautiful and highly functional item.
Initially, it's fresh green bamboo. One of the charms of bamboo crafts is how it transforms into a glossy amber color over 10 to 20 years of use.
Please enjoy this transformation and use it for a long time.
Natural materials such as earthenware pottery, lacquerware, and wooden cutlery should be put away after being thoroughly dried. You can comfortably put away wiped dishes by placing them face down in the basket for a while. The well-ventilated hexagonal weave is also gentle on the dishes.
*Due to being handmade with natural materials, there may be individual differences in weave and color.
