These are “Bread basket” made of Madake bamboo and Chinese moonseed vines.Two sizes, small and large, are introduced on this page.These baskets are woven with strips of thinly peeled strips of the hard enamel outer skin of the bamboo.This process allows the color to change over time to a deeper amber color and shines with a glossy appearance.“Caution”At the time this photo was taken, it is a strong green color,but this green will soon fade and turn to yellow and amber color.Please note that the color may change from the photo when you receive the product. The rim is made of shaved bamboo and Chinese moonseed vines, and are beautifully and powerfully finished. The beauty of the finish can be clearly seen from above. Despite the wide rim, even the nodes are nicely aligned. Touching any part of the basket is so smooth that one forgets that bamboo is supposed to splinters. Due to the nature of Chinese moonseed vines, the outer skin may peel off as shown in the photo, but this is not a defect. Please understand this beforehand. It is soft from the bottom and widens toward the mouth at the top, which is lovely. It is difficult to keep such a soft curve. This is small size. This is large size. As the name of the bread basket suggests, as a basket when you go to buy bread. Besides, it can be used as a companion when going to the park, etc., with a lunch box or food in it.The handle is attached vertically, so it does not get in the way when walking.The small size will fit a lunch box for 1-2 people. Can imagine that the large size can hold a lunch box for 2-4 people. It has a plump and charming form when viewed vertically. Although Kiriyama’s baskets have a solid image with hard Madake bamboo, there are also baskets with soft curves like this one.The slightly lower height of the basket makes it easy to put things in and out.Also, the large size may be used as a magazine rack.Please check the size and choose the size you prefer.Kiriyama’s Basket CreationKiriyama’s basket creation begins with choosing quality bamboo and Chinese moonseed vines, harvesting and preparing the materials.

• This is a shallow dish drying basket made by improving on the technique of the dish drying basket, carefully selecting the right materials, diligently making the strips thinner, and paying attention to the balance of the finished shape. Among them, this one is relatively small in size and shallow, so we named it the "Oval cup basket".
