Wild Grape Vine Basket Bag, Fine Ajiro Weave (Large), Shoulder, Horizontal YB-130

Yukihiro Tsutsui's wild grape vine basket bags are easy to carry and match with various outfits because they are not too formal. These basket bags are just like Mr. Tsutsui's simple and honest personality.






These wild grape vine basket bags are made in the satoyama (foothills) of Nagano Prefecture. This is a large-sized bag woven with a fine ajiro weave, and it can also be worn over the shoulder. The bold yet delicate and beautiful craftsmanship is truly Tsutsui-san's forte.



With a square bottom and a solid gusset, it has more storage capacity than it appears.


These are all handmade by Yukihiro Tsutsui of "Yamabudo Kobo Tsutsui," starting from the cutting of the wild grape vines, which are the raw material. Tsutsui-san's baskets bring out a deep flavor by utilizing the natural vines, dynamically weaving in their original curves, thickness, and thinness. While many products made overseas have their oil stripped away by boiling the vines, resulting in a lack of luster even after extended use, Tsutsui-san's wild grape vine baskets, soaked in water and meticulously woven, grow stronger and more beautiful with each use. The boldly woven baskets, exuding the power of nature, are easy to carry for both casual and elegant occasions, suiting any person or place. No two wild grape vine baskets, crafted to highlight nature, are alike. We deliver a beautiful encounter with a unique piece.



The handle joint, a characteristic of Tsutsui's work. It is designed with strength in mind.





The gusset is firmly woven and robust, maintaining its shape. With a square bottom, items inside won't shift around.



By using natural vines, variations in holes and color are appreciated as beautiful textures.



You can enjoy the lively expressions of knots and wood grain.



【To Customers Purchasing Wild Grape Vine Baskets】

Wild grape vine baskets may develop mold or insect damage depending on storage conditions. Wild grape vine baskets, made from natural materials, absorb necessary humidity and release excess moisture. We recommend storing them in a well-ventilated and low-humidity environment. Even when not in use, we recommend enjoying them as interior decoration or storage baskets in your room.


※In case of insect damage

Mr. Tsutsui can beautifully repair the basket by replacing the damaged vines. Repairs are free of charge for purchases made within one year. For baskets older than one year, repairs are possible, but a repair fee (approximately 5,000 yen or more, depending on the extent of insect damage) will be charged. Please note that you will also be responsible for the round-trip shipping costs in such cases.
