White Bamboo Handled Lunch Basket, Medium, Single Tier


This is a shopping basket woven from thin bamboo resembling kumazasa (dwarf bamboo) that grows wild in the mountainous regions of Iwate Prefecture.

This handled lunch basket is made from white bamboo from Kagoshima Prefecture. This is the medium, single-tier type.



In addition to being a lunch box, it can also be used as a storage basket for household necessities, such as a sewing kit or a first-aid kit.



In the Kyushu region, small baskets of this type were once used by children as lunch boxes. Square baskets with handles are still known as "tofu baskets."



The depth of the basket is approximately 9cm.

With a substantial capacity, it's the perfect size for carrying lunch for 2-3 people.



The entire basket is finished with a weaving technique also known as "hishigi-ami." It's meticulously crafted, so the body and lid of the basket close securely and satisfyingly.



Slightly thicker white bamboo is used for the rim. The brass nails used as fasteners add a subtle accent. Inside, the brass nails are bent over, but please be careful when handling, just in case.



The connection point to the handle is also lovely.



The bottom features a sturdy "ikadazoko-ami" (raft bottom weave), typically used for larger baskets. The slightly raised bottom is a remnant of the tofu baskets, designed both for carrying tofu and allowing water to drain.



I tried putting sewing tools in it.
Old scissors and tools inherited from mother to child fit comfortably inside.



I also tried putting cosmetics in it.
The lid comes off, making it convenient for easy access.

The enjoyment of the color changing as you continue to use it

is unique to lacquerware.

this is a lifelong, lovely bento box.

Echizen Kata-Urushi (Hard Lacquer)

It is said that lacquer reaches its hardest state 100 years after application, requiring many years for complete hardening. "Echizen Kata-Urushi" is a lacquer that can withstand dishwashers, achieving a hard coating through industry-academia-government collaboration with Fukui Prefecture and Fukui University.

The "Maga-nuri technique" (true coating technique) finishes the coating in a single application, carefully removing dust by filtering the lacquer repeatedly and applying it without leaving brush marks.

"Echizen Kata-Urushi" is finished with a unique shape and beautiful colors to suit modern lifestyles, making it suitable for daily use.
