Akebi vine craftsmanship, which dates back to the Jomon period,
has inherited the wisdom of our ancestors, who utilized the blessings of abundant nature.
Among them, Akebi crafts from Aomori Prefecture use high-quality local mitsuba akebi as their material,
and only "vines" that grew in that year are harvested from summer to autumn.
Akebi baskets, woven over a long period, gain more luster with use.
Akebi from Aomori Prefecture is known for its dark color and high quality.
It is characterized by its deep brown, slightly withered, calm texture and beautifully expressive weaving.
A vine bag you'll want to own someday.
Although it is a bit pricey, its atmosphere is exceptional. Not limited to traditional Japanese attire, it can also be subtly incorporated into everyday wear.
It's a lifelong item you'll want to cherish.
The long handle, woven from several vines, allows you to easily slip your arm through it.
Both sides are rounded, and the bottom is flat. It's large enough to hold A4-sized items horizontally.
Carefully woven using several weaving techniques, the basket is rounded, exuding a soft and warm expression.
The sophisticated technique of crafting the base and weaving the handle together is superb.
Akebi material is susceptible to humidity, so storing it away is strictly prohibited. Even during the rainy season or periods of non-use, absolutely do not store it away. This can cause mold to grow. Storing it in thin paper or cloth is also not recommended as it reduces ventilation. For light dirt such as dust, gently brush it off. Do not use detergents. We hope you enjoy the process of your basket maturing with extensive use.
The opening is also about 11cm wide, making it easy to put items in and take them out. It holds surprisingly a lot.
| This handbag is carefully crafted one by one by artisans using high-quality Aomori-produced akebi. The high-quality akebi vines will gain more luster with use, making it a lifelong item that can be used for a long time. |
