Made of thin bamboo called kanchiku, this basket is beautifully handcrafted by skilled craftsmen in Tochigi prefecture, Japan.

This design is round, shallow and compact. A perfect size for storing fruit, small vegetables, or small snacks. Also recommended for keeping small accessories tidy in one place. Because this basket has a bit of lift on the bottom, it's also functional for drying small cups, cutlery and such by your kitchen sink. Kanchiku bamboo's stems are distinctively purple, but you can also enjoy the gradual changes that occur over time as they turn green or deep brown (as shown in the photo as an example). 

*As these are handmade with natural materials, the colour and shape of each piece may vary slightly. Please enjoy it as part of one-of-a kind beauty.
