They can be stacked for storage, making them very convenient and space-saving! It would be handy to have them in different sizes.

Furthermore, the rim is made durable by using a wire core and winding rattan around it multiple times, shifting the position, and then winding it again from the opposite direction. This creates a rounded, sturdy rim that is gentle on the hands.

This "warabi basket" is woven from thin strips of moso bamboo from Ibaraki Prefecture.
As its name suggests, it is a tool born out of daily life, traditionally used for harvesting wild vegetables and mushrooms. Every step of its creation is done carefully by hand.










The bottom is square for stability, and the body has a beautiful curve for easy handling. The handles are woven from the bottom up so that heavy items can be carried. Subtle工夫 have been made, such as making the handle thicker where it is held for easier carrying.




Since natural materials are used, the color of the bamboo may vary, but it will turn into a beautiful golden color over time.




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




Even baskets of the same size may vary slightly in size depending on the weaver. We list the average size. Please understand.




The handle has been improved by tying two bamboo strips together for even easier carrying.










Please understand that the design may vary slightly depending on the time of arrival and the artisan. Please appreciate this as the charm of handmade items made from natural materials.


Beautifully woven moso bamboo baskets are not only great in the kitchen but also make lovely storage baskets. Sometimes, it's nice to go out with your lunch and water bottle in one.

西川登竹細工について

竹細工の製造



繊細な技が光る曲線の美

1909年には西川登村竹細工組合が設立され、竹細工職人は500人を超えました。
同組合では技術の向上と品質の安定に力を注ぎました。明治天皇がご訪問されたのを機に、
西川登竹細工は伊万里・有田焼と肩を並べるほどの名声を博したと伝えられています。

1933年には武雄市西川登町高瀬地区に共同作業場を設け、品質の安定にいっそう取り組みました。
また、小学校高等科の課外特別授業としても取り入れられ、竹細工の認知につながりました。

竹材の伐採から材料の取り出し、編み上げに至るまで、すべての工程を一貫して行っています。
熟練の技術を活かして、生活に根ざした竹細工を製造しております。
